lyrics
Two ancient dragons fought
to bury castles in the sand
one rose in the west
one drowned in the mud
He saw everything
he knew what was to come
he knew what had passed
and nothing would ever change
So he watched his tale unfold
and tried to win his losing hand
But losers always lose
while helping others win
Helpless seer of the king
the madman in the forest
can never was his hands
of the things he must do
Useless old dreamer
tired old wizard
what the hell will you do
now that your time has come?
And even though he always
knew she would be beautiful
She would be kind to him
He vowed to look away
But he never knew
how much he would love her
and how little all his
plans would matter after
So of course she did betray
as he always knew she would
but everything is fine
when she’s by his side
to bury castles in the sand
one rose in the west
one drowned in the mud
He saw everything
he knew what was to come
he knew what had passed
and nothing would ever change
So he watched his tale unfold
and tried to win his losing hand
But losers always lose
while helping others win
Helpless seer of the king
the madman in the forest
can never was his hands
of the things he must do
Useless old dreamer
tired old wizard
what the hell will you do
now that your time has come?
And even though he always
knew she would be beautiful
She would be kind to him
He vowed to look away
But he never knew
how much he would love her
and how little all his
plans would matter after
So of course she did betray
as he always knew she would
but everything is fine
when she’s by his side
