about
Beheaded Dragon is the first single of the Onyx Eyes' 3rd upcoming album.
It is a metaphorical story about the dragon in us, as a symbol of the inner strength, which has been “beheaded”.
The Dragon Blood Tree grows again to be reborn like a phoenix from the ashes, just like the dragon itself.
The first single is bringing a unique mixture of the 70’s guitars and soundscapes, expanding from the 80’s synth- and piano-sounds till classically influenced vocals.
Take a trip with us on this unique fusion!
lyrics
Under the veil of illusions
There you exist
I've lost you so long ago,
Now I’m living a nightmare on daylight
This journey‘s nor mine not yours,
We are banished from this strange world,
We‘re just the observers
How many hours have left?
How far should you go
To let your dreams become real?
Is that what you want?
Don‘t waste it, don’t lose it!
I want to know what you’re hiding,
I want to know where you’re heading to
Forgive me, I must admit
I've lost you
Now I’m living a nightmare on daylight
This journey‘s nor mine not yours,
We are banished from this strange world,
We‘re just the observers
Once you were whole
Led by the emptiness
of this strange world
You lost your way
Forget everything
They once have said
Spread your wings
And burning flames
I know you‘ll find me!
I pray you look for me...
I know you'll find me...
I know you'll find me!
I've lost you so long ago,
Now I’m living a nightmare on daylight
This journey‘s nor mine nor yours,
We are banished from this strange world,
We‘re just the observers...
just the observers!
I know you'll find me...
