The Dragon Lyrics
Hook:
And be not conformed to this world
But be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind
So that ye may prove what is that good
And acceptable, and perfect will of God
Verse 1:
I spend my days chasing The Dragon
Having visions of your dead bodies stacked up in wagons
But is it just a dream or something much more sinister?
I spend my nights by candlelight with ministers
I finish the Our Father's and Hail Mary's covered in blood
Hard drugs are sub's to a Father's love
And they say I slit my wrist, that I only know why
But I can't find a reason why I would wanna die
They tell me that I black out, don't remember a thing
And tell me it's a mortal sin and I got broken wings
Say they wanna help but I hear their whispers
See the sideways glances entrancing the misfits
But I'm smarter than them, won't be a martyr for them
Can't be a martyr for a father there less than my own
And so I roam with broken wings and blood on my hands
With a plan to set fire to your promised land
Hook
Verse 2:
I spend my days hypocritically down on my knees in prayer
With all the pain and rage outta sight of the crosshairs
Clutching a silver cross to the heart of this canine
Now I'm smoking like the fallen with holy water in stomach lines
I stumble blind to my haven with ravens trailing
And raving about the greed in me and the fate of the Satan
The fate of the Adversary, the fate of the Rebel, the fate of Accuser
The fate of the hate of the taste; they mistake the name of Lucifer
There cannot be light without darkness, darkness without light
There cannot be night without day and day without the night
And the opposite of faith is not doubt but rather certainty
And I'm certain that I know and speak the truth but it'll burn me
Eternity is just around the corner, I was raised to believe
But now I spell raze with a "z" and The Dragon agrees
I burn the word, write my own and devour the herd
Converting for self Romans chapter 12, second verse
Hook
Yeah, be not conformed to this world
But be conformed to the one above
Be conformed to the God above
And do His will 'cos it is that good
And acceptable, and perfect
And be not conformed to this world
But be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind
So that ye may prove what is that good
And acceptable, and perfect will of God
I spend my days chasing The Dragon
Having visions of your dead bodies stacked up in wagons
But is it just a dream or something much more sinister?
I spend my nights by candlelight with ministers
I finish the Our Father's and Hail Mary's covered in blood
Hard drugs are sub's to a Father's love
And they say I slit my wrist, that I only know why
But I can't find a reason why I would wanna die
They tell me that I black out, don't remember a thing
And tell me it's a mortal sin and I got broken wings
Say they wanna help but I hear their whispers
See the sideways glances entrancing the misfits
But I'm smarter than them, won't be a martyr for them
Can't be a martyr for a father there less than my own
And so I roam with broken wings and blood on my hands
With a plan to set fire to your promised land
I spend my days hypocritically down on my knees in prayer
With all the pain and rage outta sight of the crosshairs
Clutching a silver cross to the heart of this canine

The fate of the hate of the taste; they mistake the name of Lucifer
There cannot be light without darkness, darkness without light
There cannot be night without day and day without the night

"Chasing the dragon" is a method of partaking in heroin or opium wherein the user places the drug upon foil and users a lighter to heat it. It turns into a sticky liquid that moves around like a Chinese dragon". I do NOT do drugs, nor have I ever taken heroin or opium, but I thought the term sounded cool and it was this (as well as "dragon" being synonymous with "the devil") and scenes from the film From Hell that inspired the lyrics.
One time performing live I accidentally started rapping the second verse first and being an amateur stopped the set to start the song again.
