Nine Dragons Poet Lyric

A Danger to My Self

Danger said to hold on tight
Tonight will be a bumpy ride
Birth the self full-armed to fight
Cuz there's nowhere left that we might hide

The topplers heard you were the bird
That sung such pretty lies
The sleepless truth you have now stirred
And would tear those pretty eyes

Life and death are vying for me
We clamber from the shores unto the seas
Hoping the moon well receives our pleas
The winds upon the tides promise no guarantee
The prophets are aligned
And too, our fates resigned
But we pledge all our light
To remain free
Tho' the end be in sight
We rescind that destiny

Angels are on high
Fires churn the watery deep
If I try bide the time to cry
Will the world wake from its sleep
And try in its humble way
To comfort me
I can see the light spilling upward forming day
I can see the sinking clouds parting in our way
Fallen in the fray

Is this the destiny you've chose for me
Love is the candle that lights our way
I tremble at these words you say
Tables ever turning
Luck is giving sway
Don't ever let me catch you settling
For the fates others pay
Leave them to their days
Dying in the craze
They never paid their—praise

Go on
Be what you must be
Truth is happy and is sleeping
Tears of joy, weeping—
Night fills with day
