You've got ashes on the tip of your finger 

You've got secrets in the back of your mind 

You've been searching for the meaning of evil 

'Cause you're attracted to the darkness of life 

You've been playing with the words of a liar 

And you're tired of the war that you rage 

You've been hanging on the edge of the fire 

And your pride has got you locked in a cage 



You, you got to find the peace of mind that you've been looking for 

You, you got to fight to have the life that you've been searching for 



You gotta' slay the dragon 

Running through the night trying to feel alright 

And it's time you want to burn 

You gotta' kill the beast 

Carry all the weight of your love and hate 

Will the tables ever turn? 

You gotta' slay the dragon 

Running down the road with a heavy load 

Trying to leave the world behind 

You gotta' kill the beast 

Listen to the voice 'cause you have a choice 

And it's time to draw the line 



When you've reached the end of the road 

And you find a hole in your soul 

I believe it's time to slay the beast 

Slay the beast 

Slay the beast 



You're still counting on the change of the seasons 

You've been waiting for the passage of time 

While your loneliness has taken you hostage 

You've been hiding in a circle of lies 



You, you got to find the peace of mind that you've been looking' for 

You, you got to fight to have the life that you've been searching' for 



You gotta' slay the dragon 

Running through the night trying to feel alright 

And it's time you want to burn 

You gotta' kill the beast 

Carry all the weight of your love and hate 

Will the tables ever turn? 

You gotta' slay the dragon 

Running down the road with a heavy load 

Trying to leave the world behind 

You gotta' kill the beast 

Listen to the voice 'cause you have a choice 

And it's time to draw the line 



When you've reached the end of the road 

And you find a hole in your soul 

I believe it's time to slay the...

You've got ashes on the tips of your fingers 

You've got secrets in the back of your mind 

You've been searching for the meaning of evil 

'Cause you're attracted to the darkness of life 

You've been playing with the words of a liar 

And you're tired of the war that you rage 

You've been hanging on the edge of desire 

And your pride has got you locked in a cage 



You gotta' slay the dragon 

You gotta' slay the dragon 

You gotta' kill the beast 

You gotta' kill the beast
