Wise Dragon - The Light Beyond the Lies

Wise Dragon - copyright

I woke beneath a blood-red sky,
The stars above began to cry.
The veil was torn before my sight,
And shadows hissed in sacred light.

The serpent's tongue disturbed the air,
Its poison cloaked in holy prayer.
But deep within, a fire rose —
A flame no wicked force can close.

The chains that held me turned to dust,
My soul recalled what souls once must.

Through veil and flame, I rise anew,
I walk the path of those who knew.
Though darkness speaks with voice of gold,
Its lies no longer have their hold.

I saw the mask the world had worn,
The temples built to feed the thorn.
I saw the tower crowned in sin,
Where truth was locked and sealed within.

Arise, O flame, from star and stone,
Awake, lost soul — no more alone.
Remember now thy name of old —
The tale before the tale was told.

Through veil and flame, I rise anew,
I walk the path of those who knew.
No king, no screen, no priestly chain —
Can bind my soul in falsehood’s reign.

I walk the path… through veil and flame…
And speak once more the sacred Name
