Becoming The Dragon Lyrics

Swim in the river ascending
Free of fear filled with purpose
It's the goal, find the oceans of adversity
Against the current to obtain the highest goal

Swim through our sins of suffering
Climb to the falls of dragons gate become
Transform from koi into a beast, dragon

A living symbol of courage
No weight will shatter these scales (shatter the scaled)
Dreams of free from pours
Pours of the dying
Water falls up ahead
What they left to do

Swim through our sins of suffering
Climb to the falls of dragons gate become
Transform from koi into a beast, dragon

To have a shot
To becoming a
This dragon will rise and burn thee

I'm a witness to a burning form
Evolution is complete
A breath that touches the ground
Producing rain or fire
Watch the world move according to each desire

Swim through our sins of suffering
Swim through our sins of suffering
Climb to the falls of dragons' gate become
Transform from koi into a beast, dragon

Matt learned how to sing, and liked not damaging his vocal chords, the end.

Seriously though, this album just kinda grew on me after a while, I wasn't feeling it at first... then it clicked. It's actually a pretty solid album if you just give it a chance.

I've come to a conclusion.

You're retarded.

The End.

And with that out of the way, I like the new sound. I wish they would sprinkle some screaming in here and there, but even without it I still love the new album.

This was starting to annoy me so here are the correct lyrics

Swimming the river ascending Free of Fear, filled with purpose Nishikigoi fights through oceans of adversity Against the current to obtain the highest goal

Swim through oceans of suffering Climb to the falls of Dragon Gate Become Transform from a Koi into a beast Dragon

A living symbol of courage No wave will shatter these scales (Shatter these scales) Dreams of three eagle claws and the paws of a tiger, Waterfall's up ahead, one thing left to do

Swim through the sins of suffering Climb to the falls of Dragon Gate Become Transform from Koi into a beast Dragon

You'll never stop the becoming, yeah This dragon will rise and be king

All bear witness to a great form Evolution is complete A breath that turns into clouds producing rain or fire Watch the world move according to each desire

Swim through oceans of suffering Climb to the falls of Dragon Gate Become Transform from Koi into a beast Dragon

The meaning i take out of this song other than the litteral one about a koi becoming a dragon is that weak things may become strong through adversity "Nishikigoi fights through oceans of adversity Against the current to obtain the highest goal" Pluse its just a kick ass song one of my faorites.

Song Meaning

This song is an old chinese legend in which the koi fish must swim up a river and if it reaches the top of the waterfall it will turn into a dragon

Some of the lyrics are wrong, not by much but they are. I'd post the right thing but I don't wanna have a long post showing the entire song. Update?

They matured and began writing music that was more meaningful to them and sounded better to them. I personally like the new Trivium better.

I respect your opinion.. but personally to me, the old stuff has so much more meaning, even the lyrics.. even the lyrics are kinda lowered now.. i dont know.
