Dragon’s Tooth

by Dave Draper  ©  1970-78 -2012275 words

Dragons-Tooth-160x160
I face the sun with anti-glare
I trace the wizard to his lair
He hides in regions in between
Where other eyes have never seen
Beyond the spectrum of known truth
Deep within the dragon’s tooth

Deep, deep, deep down beneath the cavern’s roof
Deep, deep, deep down somewhere to find the truth
Deep, deep, deep down inside the dragon’s tooth
Deep within the dragon’s tooth
Deep within the dragon’s tooth

I disappear, somehow I’m gone
Gone from where this star once shone
In time too distant to explain
Unparalleled, where I remain
Beyond the spectrum of known truth
Deep within the dragon’s tooth

Deep, deep, deep down beneath the cavern’s roof
Deep, deep, deep down somewhere to find the truth
Deep, deep, deep down inside the dragon’s tooth
Deep within the dragon’s tooth
Deep within the dragon’s tooth

The wizard with his crystal ball
Sees me enter the mighty hall
I turn sideways to evade
And find myself in some huge dark cave
Where I taste the sulphur of some strange youth
Deep within the dragon’s tooth

Deep, deep, deep down beneath the cavern’s roof
Deep, deep, deep down somewhere to find the truth
Deep, deep, deep down inside the dragon’s tooth
Deep within the dragon’s tooth
Deep within the dragon’s tooth
