Therion
The Wings of the Hydra
[Verse 1: Christofer Johnsson]
Open up the gates, and I'll follow
Let's tread what's supposed to be hollowed
On our journey we're facing our fate
To find the balance of destroy and create!

[Chorus: Jan Wichers]
I ride the mighty one
I burn myself with fire
I ride the mighty one
I drown myself in might

[Verse 2: Christofer Johnsson]
Give me the strength that I want
As I wait through night until dawn
Rise up, dragon, and bring me the fire
Bring to life my deepest desire!

[Chorus: Jan Wichers]
I ride the mighty one
I burn myself with fire
I ride the mighty one
I drown myself in might

[Bridge: Christofer Johnsson]
Rise up, dragon, awake from the cave
Rise up, free me, take off my chains
Lend me your wings, and I'll be free
Rise up, dragon, awake from the cave
Rise up, free me, take off my chains
Lend me your wings, and I'll be free
Let's rise
[Verse 3: Christofer Johnsson]
Open up the gates and I'll follow
Let's tread what's supposed to be hollowed
On our journey we're facing our fate
To find the balance of destroy and create!

[Chorus: Christofer Johnsson]
As I ride the mighty one
As I burn myself with fire
As I fly above the skies
As I drown myself in might
As I ride the mighty one
As I burn myself with fire
As I fly above the skies
I open up the gates!
