Face the dragon
Verse
Beneath the veil of consciousness
Primordial and dark
Lies a forest full of shadows
and men with timid hearts.
No one’s heard of bravery.
Nobody takes a stand.
Nobody knows what courage is
or how to be a man.
Pre chorus
Comes a time for courage
Time to face your fears.
And now the time is here.
Chorus
I’ve come to face the dragon;
Gaze into his eyes.
Face down my inner demon
Slay the beast inside.
I’ve come to face the dragon
the ghastly beast I hide.
Verse
My heart is pounding in my chest
A voice inside me says
The only fear is fear itself
And that i’ve come to slay.
It was I who was creator;
Gave refuge in my mind.
I have no sword to slay him with;
No shield to hide behind.
Pre chorus
Comes a time for courage
Time to face your fears.
And now the time is here.
Chorus
I’ve come to face the dragon;
Gaze into his eyes.
Face down my inner demon
Slay the beast inside.
I’ve come to face the dragon
the ghastly beast I hide.
Verse
I’ll walk away a wounded man
But with my head held high;
With self-respect and dignity;
A heartfelt sense of pride.
Yes I came to face the dragon
and look him in his eyes.
I entered hell and fought my way
back to the other side.
Tag
I’ve slayed the beast inside.

Great idea Carroll,

Facing and slaying our demons is hard, sometimes we don't succeed. I like the way the singer is going for it on a positive note.
