Lyrics

Dancing With Dragons
(formerly called YOUTH)
© 2012 Bauer/Sahlen/Starburst

Once I danced with dragons breathing fire from my mouth
Roamed this world a stallion, galloping from north to south
Soared above the heavens; no place I couldn't reach
Once I was immortal, now marooned upon this beach

(original chorus)
(The) bloom is off the rose now the blush gone from my cheek
The promise I once held, forgotten and grown weak
Don't fail me now my brother, the one who holds the truth
Why is it you abandoned me, my quickly fading youth?
Why is it you abandoned me, my quickly fading youth?

or

(possible alternative chorus)
where have all the dragons gone with dancing just begun
Don't fail me now my memories lonesome and forlorn
The history of the universe the gold within my soul
Why have all the dragons gone to places I don't know?

(original verse 2)
Those were the best of times, all in my formative years
When nothing could persuade me that I'd ever hide from fears
Amidst the universe's unearthly pleasure dome
Once I was a miracle, perched upon my throne

or

(possible alternate verse 2)
The best and worst, the holy curse, the taming of the wild
The elegance to fly with friends, man no more than child
Amidst the universe's unearthly pleasure dome
Once I was a miracle, perched upon my throne

(repeat chorus)

(bridge)
The wisdom of the ages fights for comfort through the night
As finely tuned memories continue to take flight

(repeat chorus)

Tag (retarding)

My quickly fading youth
