[Verse]

The dragon said, "I'll breathe a spell for you

With words to burn you rears and your mind

The thoughts you thought you knew, I'll scatter them

Like leaves before the wind, just the teardrops left behind"

The dragon said "I'll swim a spell for you

Across the veiled lake of Avalon

I'll sing the spell from the stone

I'll heal your heart"

[Chorus]

Ah, as he breathes on the embers

Of his nest inside the cave

The dragon remembers

Every oracle he gave

[Verse]

The dragon said, "I'll hide a spell for you

Inside the hollow of the hill

Choose whichever way you will

To climb out of your own especial hell

Then you'll find the dragonspell"

The dragon said, "I'll call the names

I'll say things you never heard

But it all depends if you hear the voice within the word"

[Chorus]

As old as the bracken, possessive as the rain

Ah, can you tell me your real, your real

Your real name

The dragon raises itself, unfurls its tail

Smoke from its tongue curling a spell across the land

Cast by the elder's hand

[Bridge]

I think I lived in Ithaca, although I've never been

But it seems familiar to me

I wish I had nine lives, I wish I had the time

To go back to Ithaca, to those other lives of mine

To those other lives of mine

I think I lived in Ithaca, though I've never been

But it seems familiar to me

I wish I had nine lives, I wish I had the time

To go back to Ithaca, to those other lives of mine

To those other lives of mine

[Outro]

I think I lived in Ithaca (across the veiled lake of Avalon)

I wish I had nine lives, I wish I had the time (I'll sing a spell from the stone)

(I'll heal your heart)

I think I lived in Ithaca (across the veiled lake of Avalon)

I wish I had nine lives, I wish I had the time (I'll sing a spell from the stone)

To go back to Ithaca

To those other lives of mine, to those other lives

I wish I lived in Ithaca...
