The Eyes of the Dragon

I don't know but I heard it sung
First one fell and he died too young
Mad king closed in a heart of stone
Broke his crown and he died alone
Dark man's voice goes low and high
Old folk say the face is new
Hush now baby, don't you cry
The eyes of the dragon are upon you
I don't know but the people tell
This one walks in a wicked spell
Gave too much for a liar's throne
Sits there now and he sits alone
Dark man's touch is cruel and light
Dark man does as he will do
Ah, but hush now baby, don't you cry
The eyes of the dragon are upon you.
I don't know but the whispers told
Next in line has a heart of gold
Dream good dreams the whole night through
The world is wide and it waits for you
Dark man listens all the time
But your dreams are free and your dreams are true
Hush now baby, don't you cry
The eyes of the dragon are upon you.
The eyes of the dragon are upon you.

Death is Not a Stranger
04:09

"The man in black fled across the desert, and the gunslinger followed."
Don’t say I lost the battle
On the day I lay my weapons down
I made this peace with my own hands
I take it with me to the ground
And I laugh because I know
That when he finds you in the end
You see that Death is not a stranger
He's an old, old friend.
Death is not a stranger
He's the brother at your back
The striking hawk, the wolf that runs
Beside you when the moon is black
So follow close, and follow fast
Gone is gone and past is past
Right here and now, and nothing else remains
And the horn is the only refrain
Don’t grieve that I have fallen
When the hour has grown late
I will rise and give my greetings
To the bringer of my fate
And I stand because I know
That when she finds me in the end
I’ll see that Death is not a stranger
She’s an old, old friend
Death is not the robber
She's the shepherd in the night
Standing in the clearing
Keeping everything in sight
See her there and see her well
And take her hand and let her tell you
All you fear and all you long to know
Then take up your banner and go
See the roses in the ruins, see the endless singing sky
Hold steady to the faithful heart
That's not afraid to die
Set your sight on the fields of the blood of the ages
And reap every seed you have sown
Hear your enemy cry for the face of his father
And remember the face of your own.
Death is not a stranger
Just the last long ride you make
To some new world when this old world
Has taken all the worlds can take
Or else into the silent dream
Of shadow-light along the Beam
To watch and rest and rise to watch again
I will seek for that grace
I will welcome its embrace
And I’ll see you, I’ll see you, my friend

When I worry I have nothing new to say
I go and ask the ocean
with her everchanging song
and she says oh, my daughter--
do it anyway.
I have listened just a while
I have sung so very long
But when you sing with me
it’s something I have never heard before
the ringing of the rocks
around the waves upon the shore
There is a voice that wakes the water in your veins
And brings to life all breathing things
It shifts and shapes, it moves and makes, it bends and breaks
And takes its place here
Forevermore
When I fear that I am drifting in the dark
I look out to the stars,
alone and shining distantly
And they say oh, my darling,
hold on to your spark
what you touch is changed forever
though you may not always see
But from the highest places, all your hidden colors show
The fire in your eyes will set the universe aglow
There is a brightness that surrounds you like the dawn
And it goes on and on and on
And love creates the light that takes a human shape
Its ways to wander
Itself to know.
