lyrics

(Verse)
If I die, oh Lord, please take these dreams away from me
Rising high, the dragon standing right in front of me
Live or die, these dreams are waiting ever patiently
Mountainside, the changeling stalking ever after me

(Chorus)
And then you stare
on the outside looking in
what’s the reason for the waiting

When you know not where you’ve been
And this side of sanity’s breaking

Cuz the dragon sometimes wins
And the bad is for the taking
Taken by those for their sins
It’s a goddam rude awakening

(Verse)
High and low, I’m searching somewhere for the bravery
Will it show, when my sword’s racing towards some tragedy
But I know, this feeling’s just the dragon’s hold on me
So I go on facing each and every enemy

(Chorus)

(Verse)
Win or lose, we go on chasing every dream we’ve had
left to choose, the situations chosen shan’t be bad
To refuse, would be to sanctify the mortal mad
We shall use each power given to the broken and the sad

(lead)

    You may be able to directly download the MP3 through this link: download now. If the browser reports that it doesn’t know the MIME type, go ahead and download it — you will get the full MP3. If the browser brings up QuickTime, then try the next step.

    As a final method, we have instructed your browser to keep a copy of the MP3 in its cache. That copy will be there only as long as this web page is loaded. Wait until the full song has downloaded to your browser, then go into the browser cache and search for the song (on a Macintosh, the browser cache will be located in the System Folder --> Preferences --> Netscape Users --> your user name --> Cache ƒ). This will only work for Netscape Communicator or Navigator; Microsoft Internet Explorer uses a proprietary anti-social cache that doesn’t allow direct user access) The song will be listed under a strange name (something like cache416991.mp3) — locate it by searching for something with an MP3 file extension. Now, copy (not move) the file from the cache to the desktop (soon after you close this web page, the copy in the cache will be removed) and rename it something meaningful like torch.mp3.
