Lyrics:

For too long now

There were secrets in my mind

For too long now

There were things I should have said

In the darkness

I was stumbling for the door

 

To find a reason

To find the time, the place, the hour

Waiting for the winter sun

And the cold light of day

The misty ghosts of childhood fears

The pressure is building

And I can’t stay away

 

I throw myself into the sea

Release the wave let it wash over me

To face the fear I once believed

The tears of the dragon

For you and for me

 

Where I was

I had wings that couldn’t fly

Where I was

I had tears I couldn’t cry

 

My emotions

Frozen in an icy lake

I couldn’t feel them

Until the ice began to break

 

I have no power over this

You know I’m afraid

The walls I built are crumbling

The water is moving

I’m slipping away

 

I throw myself into the sea

Release the wave let it wash over me

To face the fear I once believed

The tears of the dragon

For you and for me

 

Slowly I awake

Slowly I rise

The walls I built are crumbling

The water is moving

I’m slipping away

 

I throw myself into the sea

Release the wave let it wash over me

To face the fear I once believed

The tears of the dragon

For you and for me

 

I throw myself into the sea

Release the wave let it wash over me

To face the fear I once believed

The tears of the dragon

For you and for me
