fate may be a liar

[fledgist]

 here is a dragon that breathes golden fire

burning a message across the dull sky

telling us all that fate may be a liar

 

although we are the ones who still aspire

to honour in a world where all seems dry

here is a dragon that breathes golden fire

 

a vision that combines beauty and ire

reminder that some final truth is nigh

telling us all that fate may be a liar

 

that in the end both pain and joy are higher

than we expect or might ask to supply

here is a dragon that breathes golden fire

 

a mark of fear but still it is not dire

there's more above than we know to espy

telling us all that fate may be a liar

 

that is the burden of the early crier

who warns that those who care will come to die

here is a dragon that breathes golden fire

telling us all that fate may be a liar
