For too long now There were secrets in my mind For too long now There were things I should've 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 (I throw) myself (myself) into the sea Release the wave, let it wash over me To face (to face) the fear (the fear) I once believed The tears of the dragon For you and for me I throw (I throw) myself (myself) into the sea Release the wave, let it wash over me To face (to face) the fear (the fear) I once believed The tears of the dragon For you and for me
