The Morning of the Dragon

On silent feet it came
Breathing a sheet of flame, it came
Closing it on its rightful prey
Burning a hundred years away
The Morning of the Dragon
Truth up the street
The tiger we were stalking
Walked on paper feet
And in the clear white heat
Of dawn
Was gone

From every door they came
These children born of war, they came

Victory

Sharing a secret word which they
Waited a hudred years to say

The morning of
the dragon
All the walls
fell down

The Morning of the Dragon
Truth lit up the street

Brother greeted brother
In a sudden light

The tiger we were stalking
Walked on paper feet
And in the clear white heat of dawn
It's gone

And the endless night heat of dawn
Was gone

(as groups one and two repeat ON SILENT FEET IT CAME.../ VICTORY...)
May all our children learn
The tide of right will turn
Giants fall, tigers burn
Someday with the dawn
They're gone
