From the recording The Sea Beside Us

Lyrics

Dragons

There are dragons here
Where the winds call to confuse us
Turning hope to fear
And the maps that tried to guide us
Simply disappear

Yet we’re setting sail
On a raft that barely holds us
That will surely fail
Till the salty sea enfolds us
When we’re almost there

It’s a curse or vow
Caught between the known and the imagined
We can’t turn back now
I’ll take my chances with the dragons

Once upon a time
We were planning for tomorrow
Tending to our vines
We had not yet tasted sorrow
Till they drew the lines

Then we couldn’t breathe
When the yellow smoke rained down
It brought us to our knees
And the shelling all around us
Chased us toward the sea

It’s a curse or vow
Caught between the known and the imagined
We can’t turn back now
I’ll take my chances with the dragons

Our sweet city’s gone
Now the streets are strewn with rubble
Where there once was song
There is nothing left but trouble
Where we once belonged

Fear the ocean’s roar
But we brave the waves that take us
To a distant shore
Pray the fates will not forsake us
Like they did before

It’s a curse or vow
Caught between the known and the imagined
We can’t turn back now
I’ll take my chances with the dragons
I’ll take my chances with the dragons
