The Morning of the Dragon [2014] lyrics

Company

On silent feet it came

Breathing a sheet of flame, it came

Closing in on its rightful prey

Burning a hundred years away

The morning of the dragon truth lit up the street

The tiger we were stalking walked on paper feet

And in the clear white heat of dawn

Was gone

Company 1

On silent feet it came

Breathing a sheet of flame, it came

Closing in on its rightful prey

Burning a hundred years away

The morning of the dragon truth lit up the street

The tiger we were stalking walked on paper feet

And in the clear white heat of dawn

Was gone

Company 2

From every door they came victory

These children born of war, they came victory

Sharing a secret word, which they victory

Waited a hundred years to say

Company 3

the morning of the dragon truth lit the morning of the dragon all the

[up the street [walls fell down

the tiger we were stalking walked brother greeted brother in a

[on paper feet [sudden light

and in the clear white heat of dawn and in the endless night

it's gone was gone

On silent feet it came victory may all our children learn

Breathing a sheet of flame, it came victory

Closing in on its rightful prey victory the tide of right will turn

Burning a hundred years away

The morning of the dragon truth lit up the street

The tiger we were stalking walked on paper feet

And in the clear white heat of dawn

Was gone

Engineer

Three years of school was nice

In rice fields, planting rice

You did good work you see

Re-educating me

Company

Who lives a lie must change or die

Engineer

Three years - how quick they moved

Look how the world's improved

Saigon, that queen of sin

Renamed for Ho Chi Minh

Company

Who lives a lie must change or die

Engineer

But men, will always be men

They washed out my brain

I'm still who I am

Deep inside, I know what I know

Wherever I go, I speak Uncle Ho

And think Uncle Sam

Soldier 1

Your name is Trahn Van Dinh

Engineer

At your service

Soldier 1

You're called the Engineer

Engineer

Yes sir

Soldier 1

The people's commissar

Engineer

Am I free?

Soldier 1

Has ordered you back here

Soldiers

Who lives a lie must change or die

Soldier 2

We found the man that you wanted so bad

Soldier 3

And Commissar, you were perfectly right

Soldier 2

he had been take up north to a camp

Soldier 3

We brought him down under cover of night

Soldier 2

Once he had served the American clique

Soldier 3

Selling our sisters and daughters for gold

Soldier 2

Notice we caught him in less than a week

Soldier 3

When we get orders we do what we're told

Thuy

All right, all right

That's it, that's all

You've done your job

That's it

Now go back

I'll take over now

Kim!

Find my cousin for me

I know she worked for you

You knew who her friends were

One of them is the clue

Sniff her out, you know how

Think now what would she do

Engineer

I never saw her again

I am a different man

I've been enlightened since then

But

Men must help other men

And seeing it's you

I'll work to the bone

Thuy

I'll give you 48 hours

If you want to stay free

Don't come back here alone

Company

On silent feet it came victory may all our children learn

Breathing a sheet of flame, it came victory

Closing in on its rightful prey victory the tide of right will turn

Burning a hundred years away

The morning of the dragon truth lit up the street

The tiger we were stalking walked on paper feet

And in the clear white heat of dawn

Was gone
