[lyrics - hill]
fairy tales my father told me
when I was a child
of evil dragons that filled the sky
engulfing the land in flames
but in every tale there was a hero
who like me, was a child
he would find his courage
stand alone
and see the dragons slain
once upon a time
a time we know today
and yet another tale
a boy and his father traveling
through the city
detour pulls them through
a hidden reality
wide eyed horrified
the child`s eyes
nightmare awoken
the fantasy`s broken
decaying buildings
and crying children
frozen hands surround
the burning cans
I said father can you tell me
what is this place I see before me
this is the underworld my son
this is the land beneath the city
it will disappear
just close your eyes
it isn`t real it`s not alive
this is the underworld
now years later
the memories still strong
the day I witnessed what the
dragons had done
my father`s tale had come to life
am I the child that makes it right
I`ve seen the magic dragons and
their many evil forms
so rich and unfeeling
they`ve all become
I`m just a child so young
I`m no army I`m just one
