Dragon's Eyes

As threatened, here it is. It's definitely not one of my better works, but what the hell....

I think I was in an Yngwie or power metal frame of mind when I wrote it. Just in case it's not obvious....

"Dragon's Eyes"

Don't be afraid of the fury inside
When you're looking into the dragon's eyes
Giant claws come crashing down
Death and destruction all around
A deadly tail that heaves and swings
Obliterating everything
The smell of smoke on every breath
A fiery cloud of burning death
Get out of sight, go run and hide
So you don't have to see the dragon's eyes
Ancient beast has now awoken
Magic incantations spoken
You'll know evil never dies
When looking into the dragon's eyes
Fire breathing keeps them blind
Anger seething in my mind
In my reflection, to my surprise
I see I've got the dragon's eyes!
 
Interesting ending... Can't say I agree with the theme (I usually like the old 'good over evil' theme) but it's not bad at all!

Thanks for posting! I always wanted to read more from you since you posted "A tale of two poets".

Crap. Now I have fans. Next it will be book signings and public appearances. :rolleyes:

On a more serious note, I really don't write as often or as thoroughly as I used to. But I do occasionally unearth something from my bedroom. And as harsh as I usually am on myself, it it nice to know that someone appreciates or enjoys something of mine.

:D
 
You're just too harsh on yourself I think, when it comes to these kinds of works. You've got the talents.

Very good. Sounds like a lot heavy metal lyrics that I have read.:D
I actually can personally identify with this writing quite a bit. More than I would like to admit actually.
