I wrote this one for a friend's roleplaying character in exchange for piles of imaginary loot.
lyrics
On a night when the moon rises high
There's a rumbling deep in the earth
And the night has a star in her eyes
Gazing on at the dragon's rebirth
Silver scales in moonlight, high in the sky
A quicksilver sky
And the path of the stars opens wide
Where the glittering wings glide
And a legend is risen tonight
Silver scales in the moon's shining light
On a night when the darkness is thick
And the shadows fall over the land
He's a razor that cuts to the quick
Through the clouds flying fast as he can
Silver scales in moonlight, high in the sky
A thundering sky
And the light of the moon fades away
Leaving only the bright wings displayed
Through the night sky a shattering roar
Sends a shudder straight down heaven's core
And the wind howls
And the fire burns
'Til the night turns into day
And he shimmers
Like the silver sea
As it catches the sun's bright rays
On a night when the moon rose up high
Came a rumbling deep in the earth
Now the dragon has flame in his eyes
On the morning that marks his rebirth
I could listen to Lauren sing forever. Her writing is vivid and sensitive, sweetly and painfully human--never apologizing for sharp corners and rough edges. The beauty of her spirit shines through. Summer Russell
