The Reptile Gods

Across the mountains and seas man knows

Under a volcano's golden stones

A breed of lizards with tongues like whips

Prepare the arrival of its kind king

Through fires they passe and dance strange songs

On trees they climb to watch the stars to fall

They laugh at stories about their race

Their children are taught to live with grace

Through fires they passe and dance strange songs

On trees they climb to watch the stars to fall

I don't want to tell you more

About this race of creatures born

Under a sign of burning crown

I only want to share with you

A minor detail-cum-brutal truth

These are the gods your world obeys

Born by fire

They love the flames

Salamander
