EULOGY OF A DREAM

When you're startin' to ride
And it's takin' you high
The world falls away into space

When you're flyin' free
With no one to be
The dragon is comin' to take you back

When you're beginnin' the climb
There's a snap on the line
The dragon's claws grab hold your feet

When the screamin' begins
It's his death sinkin' in
The pain rings alarms in your mind

When the burnin' is done
The dragon has won
Your body stays rooted in place

At the end of the ride
There's no place to hide
As the people lay wreaths on your head.
