In the deep heart of the forest Lies a dragon made of stone Sleeps enchanted in the shadows By the water, dreams alone
As the moonlight lights the water She comes dancing on the wind Weaving spells wrapped in starlight Dark eyed lady softly sings
Burning water, melting stone Dragon's soul, ash and bone Flaming winds, heart of fire Only you, my desire
Moon pale hands caress the stone Burning golden eyes aglow Sun-licked fire, touch scale and bone Copper wings and burning smoke
Mortal days are swiftly passing In such unseemly haste And I would know where mine had gone A dragon's love, let me taste
Burning water, melting stone Dragon's soul, ash and bone Flaming winds, heart of fire Only you, my desire
Hair of fire, twisting turning So she drowns in dragon burning Ashes in the wind are stirring White bird rises, singing
And once a thousand thousand years A dragon wakes and then A woman burns to ashes And the phoenix flies again.
