#233: Tears of the Dragon

Tau lagu ini, guys? It's a song by Bruce Dickinson. Yang dulunya vokalis Iron Maiden itu, lho.
Pertama gw denger lagu ini tu, waktu jaman-jamannya gw masih rajin siaran di radio kampus. Taun 94 atau 95 gitu deh. Lagunya enak banget kalo didengerin pas malem, sepi, sambil tiduran, kalo bisa sambil liat bintang-bintang di langit. Wuih banged dah!
Kemaren, setelah lama pengen punya, akhirnya gw dapet mp3-nya! Thanks to Mas Rifki.
Tapi kok, lagunya ga se-ballad yang dulu gw denger ya? Yang sekarang gw denger, lagunya lebih.. apa ya? Gw ga bisa jelasin. Tetep nge-rock, siy... atau emang lebih nge-rock? Tapi tetep asik.
Here the lyrics, guys.

For too long now, there were secrets in my mind
For too long now, there were things I should have said
In the darkness...I was stumbling for the door
To find a reason - to find the time, the place, the hour

Waiting for the winter sun, and the cold light of day
The misty ghosts of childhood fears
The pressure is building, and I can't stay away

I throw myself into the sea
Release the wave, let it wash over me
To face the fear I once believed
The tears of the dragon, for you and for me

Where I was, I had wings that couldn't fly
Where I was, I had tears I couldn't cry
My emotions frozen in an icy lake
I couldn't feel them until the ice began to break

I have no power over this, you know I'm afraid
The walls I built are crumbling
The water is moving, I'm slipping away...

I throw myself into the sea
Release the wave, let it wash over me
To face the fear I once believed
The tears of the dragon, for you and for me

Slowly I awake, slowly I rise
The walls I built are crumbling
The water is moving, Im slipping away...
