lyrics

There's got to be a place better than this. This is your question, what you insist. Behold my friends, I've come to say, do not believe prophecy as fate. Words seldom come true. Just don't come true. You want to rise and fly just like us. You want to fight and sting just like us. You want to burn, red just like us. Cause anything is better than what we got. We want the fire that burns so red. Hornets to the sky, till vengeance is met. There has to be a better place than this. There's got to be a place better than this. Till our last breath we vie. Hands clenched we cry. With burning mad, mad eyes we'll watch the old world die. Fly Hornets, Fly! To the sky! There is a time better than now. Follow the story as to how . Mirror the thought into your view. Together, as a Dragon, create a world for me, and you. You want to rise and fly just like us. You want to fight and sting just like us. You want to burn, red just like us. Cause anything is better than what we got. We want the fire that burns so red. Hornets to the sky, till vengeance is met. There has to be a better place than this. There's got to be a place better than this. Till our last breath we vie. Hands clenched we cry.

from Aeons | 13, released December 13, 2017
It's the same train tracks we follow every day on the way to rations. Sometimes I usually just tune out, but on this day, to my dismay, I simply can't because Naughtie just wont shut-up and she's going on-and-on-and-on again about how she's the Dragon. Seriously, she's walking on top of the splinter wall, regardless of the massive dogs just waiting and salivating on the other side looking at her bright red hair as the topping to their next warm breakfast. But again aloof to this impending doom she's screaming at the top of her lungs, 'Listen up assholes, the Dragon never dies'. It's not like we're worried that anyone's gonna hear, I mean really, the badges aren't gonna come running to this crap-tastic sector just to bust us for 'Hooligan Status'.

-----

So, as I was saying, we've told her time and time again, you are not the Dragon. And, as usual, to our non-surprise she turns up her nose and proceeds to pose as if she is carrying the scepter herself, to which I chuckle to myself, 'that little waif looks as if she can't even lift her one and only rusty fork, much less the key to the 10 sectors'.

-----

Then she continues to explain the story we've heard 1000 times about how her Papa every night would read her the prophecy of the little red-headed girl, the naught, that dies and then returns as the Dragon. I mentioned that she's a red-head right? And, it doesn't help that she was named Naughtie, get it? Because of the Naught.

-----

Oh well, it would be nice though. You know, if the Dragon was real...
