 on silent feet it came
 breathing a sheet of flame, it came
 closing in on its rightful prey
 burning a hundred years away

 the morning of the dragon truth lit up the street
 the tiger we were stalking walked on paper feet
 and in the clear white heat of dawn
 was gone

 from every door they came
 these children born of war, they came
 sharing a secret word, which they
 waited a hundred years to say

 victory

 the morning of the dragon truth lit up the street
 the tiger we were stalking walked on paper feet
 and in the clear white heat of dawn
 it's gone

 the morning of the dragon all the walls fell down
 brother greeted brother in a sudden light
 and in the endless night
 was gone

 FIRST GROUP
 on silent feet it came
 breathing a sheet of flame, it came
 closing in on its rightful prey
 burning a hundred years away
