You've got ashes on the tip of your finger 
You've got secrets in the back of your mind 
You've been searching for the meaning of evil '
Cause you're attracted to the darkness of life 
You've been playing with the words of a liar 
And you're tired of the war that you rage 
You've been hanging on the edge of the fire 
And your pride has got you locked in a cage 
You, you got to find the peace of mind that you've been looking for 
You, you got to fight to have the life that you've been searching for 
You gotta' slay the dragon 
Running through the night trying to feel alright 
And it's time you want to burn 
You gotta' kill the beast 
Carry all the weight of your love and hate 
Will the tables ever turn? 
You gotta' slay the dragon 
Running down the road with a heavy load 
Trying to leave the world behind 
You gotta' kill the beast 
Listen to the voice 'cause you have a choice 
And it's time to draw the line 
When you've reached the end of the road 
And you find a hole in your soul 
I believe it's time to slay the beast 
Slay the beast 
Slay the beast 
You're still counting on the change of the seasons 
You've been waiting for the passage of time 
While your loneliness has taken you hostage 
You've been hiding in a circle of lies 
You, you got to find the peace of mind that you've been looking' for 
You, you got to fight to have the life that you've been searching' for 
You gotta' slay the dragon 
Running through the night trying to feel alright 
And it's time you want to burn 
You gotta' kill the beast 
Carry all the weight of your love and hate 
Will the tables ever turn? 
You gotta' slay the dragon 
Running down the road with a heavy load 
Trying to leave the world behind 
You gotta' kill the beast 
Listen to the voice 'cause you have a choice 
And it's time to draw the line 
When you've reached the end of the road 
And you find a hole in your soul 
I believe it's time to slay the... [solo] 
You've got ashes on the tips of your fingers 
You've got secrets in the back of your mind 
You've been searching for the meaning of evil '
Cause you're attracted to the darkness of life 
You've been playing with the words of a liar 
And you're tired of the war that you rage 
You've been hanging on the edge of desire 
And your pride has got you locked in a cage 
You gotta' slay the dragon 
You gotta' slay the dragon 
You gotta' kill the beast 
You gotta' kill the beast [repeat till fade]
