DRAGON MADE THE MOUNTAINS

In the breakers town where I come from
The old ones tell a story
Of a dragon caught inside a storm
Whose fight carved out the mountains

It's here that there are other worlds
That open at the edges
The dragon circling underneath
Thrashing through the ages

My finger runs along the edge
Of where the light gets in
Where the mountains meet the sea
The veil is always thin

I've seen the light of other worlds
Breaking through the clouds
I've seen the light of other worlds
Flicker and go out

Down inside the trenches
The dragon comes awake
A new world, it is being born
The mountains break away

As I enter through the door
It seals up tight behind me
On the other side of things
Only the light will find me

The vulture stands beside me
The earth has opened up
On the other side of things
The dragon eats the sun

Once, the world was water
Once, the world was black
Consciousness was just a breath
Light was just a crack

In his breath, he holds the sun
The water-breathing dragon
Where the mountains meet the sea
Another door has opened.
