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, You gotta' kill the beast)

(You gotta' slay the dragon, You gotta' kill the beast)



Running' through the night trying' to feel alright and it's time you want to burn

Carry all the weight of your love and hate, will the tables ever turn?

Running' down the road with a heavy load, trying' to leave the world behind

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



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, You gotta' kill the beast)

(You gotta' slay the dragon, You gotta' kill the beast)



Running' through the night trying' to feel alright and this time you want to burn

Carry all the weight of your love and hate, will the tables ever turn?

Running' down the road with a heavy load, trying' to leave the world behind

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



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' kill the beast

You gotta' slay the dragon

You gotta' kill the beast
