Back against the wind So I could breathe A cold winter's kiss No chance to retreat I'm drowning myself So I could feel something, anything Closer and closer to losing control My breaking point In the year of the dragon ♪ A long black tunnel The light at the end The wind from the south Awakens my heart from dormant sleep I step into the sun, but the darkness drags me down again Into the empire of fear Screaming out from the depths Where day is dark as night Inside the empire of fear Screaming out for attention For my carnal remains but no one hears The fall has come to me Much colder than it used to be Swept my mind away To dark corners of internal world Where the rain feels like a burden on my shoulder Into the empire of fear Screaming out from the depths Where day is dark as night Inside the empire of fear Screaming out for attention For my carnal remains but no one hears ♪ The great winter is here To put me into the ground Eternal sleep came with the curse Killing me from inside, certainly But don't let me go to the other side Don't let me go to the eternal light ♪ Screaming out from the depths Where day is dark as night Screaming out for attention And while we listen now The empire of fear Screaming out from the depths Where day is dark as night The empire of fear Screaming out for attention And the world will listen now At the end of the year of the dragon At the end of the year of the dragon The year of the dragon The year of the dragon The year of the dragon ♪ The year of the dragon
