I have forgotten the tale I forged in flame,
In dragon’s breath it was lost to the night;
I long to hear the story of my name.
Although it shines with the light of fame,
It consumes and blinds my dreams held so tight;
I have forgotten the tale I forged in flame.
The power of my story is too beautiful to tame,
Yet it dances soulfully just out of sight;
I long to hear the story of my name.
There is nobody but myself to blame,
I locked it away that fearful night;
I have forgotten the tale I forged in flame.
Stuck in the past I remain quiet and lame,
If only I was not afraid to face the blight.
I long to hear the story of my name.
Without my story I am forever the same,
Forever longing to shine so bright;
I have forgotten the tale I forged in flame,
I long to hear the story of my name.
