Underworld Lyrics

Underworld lyrics

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
