about

I started writing Drakus in 1994 when I was 14 and just starting to learn to play guitar. My intention, originally, was to turn it into a 20 minute side long prog rock effort, but when I actually got together with my friends to work on it, I found it impossible to put together.

Since then I've broken up the song into shorter, more accessable songs. This is the main theme, however, and it remains unfinished. I recorded this demo in October 2011 with the intention of adding drums to it. My friend, Jon Kustin, assisted me with the production. There will be a more definitive version of this song in the future.

lyrics

I can see them stand before me, swords already drawn.
Have they come to slay the dragon as prophesied in stone?
Has it been so long? My life's passed me by.
For eons I have slept alone in this sad humble broken home.
Can I still spread my wings and fly?

Drakus the forgotton dragon lie within this cave.
Legends say that long ago he could have ruled the skies.
Has it been so long? My life's passed me by.
For eons I have slept alone in this sad humble broken home.
Can I still spread my wings and fly?

Now you all will see my vengeance! Now you'll feel my pain!
Feel the fire built up inside me, driven me insane!
Don't cry. Isn't this what you have come to see?
Before you take the dragon's head I'll give you all fantastic show!
And if I can't fly no more at least I can watch you all burn.
