The First Born
When the primeval egg of life first cracked open you sprung out
The most vigorous and dangerous of life's gifts to the world
The very elements of creation at your beck and call
Your beautiful flights flooded the ancient skies
Stretching from horizon to horizon
Fighting, playing and shaping the world beneath you
The world was so full of endless wonder when you flew the skies
And just as full of danger
But as the ages passed away one after the other
You passed away with them... one after the other
Where have you gone my magnificent dragons
The world misses your dangerous beauty
We are all so much smaller without you
The most vigorous and dangerous of life's gifts to the world
The very elements of creation at your beck and call
Your beautiful flights flooded the ancient skies
Stretching from horizon to horizon
Fighting, playing and shaping the world beneath you
The world was so full of endless wonder when you flew the skies
And just as full of danger
But as the ages passed away one after the other
You passed away with them... one after the other
Where have you gone my magnificent dragons
The world misses your dangerous beauty
We are all so much smaller without you
