therion - the wings of the hydra lyrics

[music and lyrics by c. johnsson.]

open up the gates and i'll follow
let's tread what's supposed to be hollowed
on our journey we're facing our fate
to find the balance of destroy and create

i ride the mighty one
i burn my self with fire
i ride the mighty one
i drown my self in might

give me the strength that i want
as i wait through nights until dawn
rise up dragon and bring me the fire
bring to life my deepest desires

[chorus]

rise up dragon, awake from the cave
rise up, free me, take off my chains
lend me your wings and i'll be free
let's rise

as i ride the mighty one
as i burn my self with fire
as i fly above the skies
as i drown my self in might
as i ride the mighty one
as i burn my self with fire
as i fly above the skies
i open up the gates...
