ON GOLDEN DAWN - for Deeze

ON GOLDEN DAWN

For Deeze

I'll help you down

On golden dawn

My fiery wings

Will carry you

I wipe your frown

Your sleepy yawn

I'll hear you sing

Endearing view

You called me from your mind

I heard this inner heartfelt cry

My ears still deaf, eyes blind

Heart open to you, I feel, I spy

You on your knees

In need of me

My breath will singe

I protect you

Those brutes I freeze

My darling, we

See them cringe

And cower too

And then we rise, you on my back

My scaly skin shelters from cold

My lair your home, you'll never lack

Of anything, Let dragon wings unfold

Our life, heroic

Will be told

In stories long, 

In epic words.

Lasting optimistic

Songs unfold:

We are strong,

We will be heard.
