Lyrics
He wears a coat of leather now
A hunter boy without a bow
Two glowing daggers catch the light
One water-blue, one leaf-green bright
When he was ten, the door shut tight
And cast him to the freezing night
A boot would strike his lonely bed
While he survived on crusts of bread
He walked beyond the guarded gate
And left the bitter, stony street
He did not pause to hesitate
With worn-out boots upon his feet
He climbed away from bitter streets
Where cruel winter stings
To find a hearth where magic beats
Under dragons' wings
Safe from the cold, safe from the night
Bathed in the warm and living light
He found the home that shelter brings
Under dragons' wings
He climbed the shale with bleeding hands
To reach the wild and higher lands
His city rags were split and thin
Until he found the warmth within
At first they hissed to make him flee
But he just waited quietly
They brought him meat upon the bone
And made him welcome in the stone
He stands beside the cavern door
The city calls to him no more
The wind has found his leather coat
A silent promise in his throat
The giant shadows wait behind
The truest kin a boy could find
He walked beyond the guarded gate
And left the bitter, stony street
He did not pause to hesitate
With worn-out boots upon his feet
He climbed away from bitter streets
Where cruel winter stings
To find a hearth where magic beats
Under dragons' wings
Safe from the cold, safe from the night
Bathed in the warm and living light
He found the home that shelter brings
Under dragons' wings
He will not go back to the wall
Under dragons' wings
