"Battle of The Dragon" (1984)
Written by Stevie Nicks

It was night... read my eyes
Without love... no cause...
I decided to go to the other side of the world...
Ooooh....
I see something... I see a handsome soldier...
I see myself remain when all of them are gone
And the reasons men are afraid of you
(Why)
And my painting...
(Why)
And the reasons I recall them without talking of them

No one knows then - nothing - of the battle of the dragon
Or the dark side of your fury
You keep the fury deep inside...
(Who's gonna wear this crown)
No witnesses to it
(Who's gonna do it for you)
Your friends aren't
I'll tell you why
Ooooh, you just pretend
(Who's gonna wear this crown)
You're beautiful, and you're sensitive
And oh so very young
We are adapting to your silence
I can live here without you
You reach out your hand
But I cannot live without your songs...
No...

You pretend you're me
And you tell your friends
Oh that you should need them more
So have you been writing
(What)
Oooh, you say it's harder now
(I didn't say nothing... who's gonna do it to ya now...)
Baby, you're everything
It don't matter now, I need to be held
You say... alone... that you're no good for me
Nothing is wrong
(Never say nothing...)
Ooooh, you can and you will be gone...

No one can walk away
from this battle
(Baby...)
Still a storm...
Like a fury...
Ooooh, if I sit still I will be calm
(Who said this battle is over...)
