Where Dragons Dwell Lyrics

[Verse 1]
A deep voice is rising from the heart of the mountain
Vibrations of the stone I can hear in my heart
The call of instinct, the flight of the powerful
I hunger for it, it just keeps me alive


[Verse 2]
I met the dragon in a cave by the mountain
Now I bring the evidence the beast is alive

This ageless army will strike in the morning
And then a star will rise and shine in the sky
But I grow impatient, cannot stand the wait
And I start to dig within me this tunnel to I
In this region of me, a great dragon is lying
On the wealth of a mighty world, my own world inside


[Verse 3]
I saw, I saw monsters
And I, and I start to, start to dig within
When I, when I turn my
Turn my back on them, they devour me

In this region of
Me, a dragon is lying there awake
Monster, monster kings, do
Do not scorn them, but do not fear them, no

Muster, muster thy army, army

About

This song bio is unreviewed
Genius Annotation

The 5th track of Gojira’s 3rd studio album discusses finding one’s true self, digging through the tribulations (i.e. mental illness and disease) of mankind to uncover who we truly are.
Dragons are very rare and mythical creatures, and just like our true internal selves, have been lost over time. “Where Dragons Dwell” encourages us to dig into ourselves to find the dragon inside of us.
