Crashing Down (Queens of Avalon)
I know you're sick and tired
Of the man who once inspired you
Going back on what he asked you to believe
He’s out there chasing power
While you're locked within the tower
And you know that you're not getting what you need
It’s time to just let go of
All the things that could have been
And open up your eyes to see the proof
That he's a liar and a menace
You could start your life again if
He was gone – why won't you see the truth?
CHORUS:
Well, they say: ‘Nothing grows
Till the oak has hit the ground’
You will open up your eyes
When the dragons come crashing down
Where are all the things we fought for?
All the things we shed our blood for?
Are they shabby now and fraying at the seams?
Was this our girlhood vision:
To endure the world's derision
While the culprit sits and laughs behind the scenes?
CHORUS:
Well, they say: ‘Nothing grows
Till the oak has hit the ground’
You will open up your eyes
When the dragons come crashing down
Let us cleanse this farce with fire
Strike the fool who leads the liar
Let it all come crumbling down
Like the firebird from the ashes
We will rise to lead the masses
And the strongest will emerge to wear the crown
CHORUS:
Well, they say: ‘Nothing grows
Till the oak has hit the ground’
You will open up your eyes
When the dragons come crashing down
You will open up your eyes
When the dragons come crashing down
