about

This song was written about events disclosed in episode 18 of season 2 of the 'Dice to Meet You' podcast, online at dicetomeetyou.com/2017/10/06/s02e18-the-election/ , and was recorded during that episode.

lyrics

When I was but a young dragon, I went to the Goddess' Repose
I declared my love for my sweetest one, but the heart door remained closed.
The heart door remained closed.
The heart door remained closed.

My love was so strong, it stretched to the stars and back,
But my love for ambition was stronger still, and I now regret that lack.

We would not be denied, and so we tunneled down from above.
A jealous shadow was released, and tore apart our love.

We fought it hard, and there I died, a victim of its hate.
My lover vowed to keep others from sharing our sad fate.

My body rots behind that door, where I'll stay until time ends,
Or until somebody unlocks the door with the wisdom of Pete Townshend.
