At over 20 years old, this song is finally getting a chance to stretch its wings and shimmer in the moonlight.
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

This is a wonderful recording. For a live recording the quality is amazing. The vocal balance with voice and piano is perfect. I very much enjoyed the stories between the songs, they enriched the meaning of the songs. Anyone who is interested in mythology and a wonderful story teller who does so with music, this is for you Kathleen SLOAN
