Lyrics

'Whole house freeze'
 It was a Thursday I stepped to the club, there she was
 Draped in a burgundy dress, silhouetted superbly
 Curved indeed, she started staring in my direction
 Luring and urging seductively, body language instructing me
 I offered her a drink instead she took a cup of tea
 And then I lied about my luxury lifestyle
 I said 'So who you be? You looking kind of tight, gal
 I would love to see you in a nightgown'
 She said 'They call me the Dragon Queen and I come from Tibet
 I'm calm in the face of pressure and you'll never see me sweat
 I've come to your country in search of a lost Scroll
 That contains directions to a hidden village comprised of gold'
 I looked at her confused and said, "But why have you told me this?"
 She said the description that I fit
 Was that of the Chosen One who'd go beyond
 Then slipped a concoction in my drink
 Immediately set my consciousness adrift
 Now, I'm in that zone dwelling, I woke in a warehouse tied to a chair
 With an abundance of flair surrounding me in a circular angle
 Glared up at the Dragon Queen's lair, wasn't imagining a thing
 Her steps on the stairs had a magic Gleam, glowed brightly
 To prepare me for my journey a Sword was hovering towards me
 Plus garlic from the Keepers of the Gate
 Who bore all the secrets and take care of trespassers
 But at last it's prophesied that I would gain access
 To a cultural dynasty buried and seize and capture the Scroll
 Massive helicopters patrolled the rooftops, strapped in
 Began traveling into the darkness, knew not of what awaited
 Thought of a way to get out of it, just then the bottom gave way
 I began falling and gave it ten seconds, pulled the cord on my parachute
 Landed surrounded by a herd of wild barracudas, lions
 The sounds of the wild kingdom piercing like a siren
 Was I entering near the mere mortal life span's end?
 Defiantly I stood boldly as they began closing in
 And time seemed to be moving rapidly just then
 'Whole house freeze'
 Just then I pulled the Sword and somehow
 It affected all the creatures as they stepped back and bowed
 And the same Glow that I seen in the Sword
 I seen in the eyes of the Lion, who began leading me
 In a specific direction as if trying to tell me something
 Just over the horizon, the same creatures who had been described
 Appeared in statue form but their eyes scoped
 And as I approached the gate they began to break open and cried
 'After years we have finally been awakened'
 The assault was on, I got knocked to the ground by one
 Shocked in an unorthodox form boxing
 Throwing an abnormal proportion of body blows, karate chops
 And drop kicks, plunged struggling deeper into the swamp
 Then I grabbed my Sword, the garlic put it around my neck
 Saw that it was draining all of their energy and then with a swing
 Off with their heads, the gates slowly and mysteriously opened
 So curiously I moseyed in with intensity focusing on my objective
 Spider webs the size of king size beds
 Fell into a secret passage not knowing to where it lead
 Just then the same Light beamed brightly and in the distance
 At that instance, lo and behold, the hidden Scroll
 And just as I thought my mission was over
 I could feel the Dragon Queen breathing heavily over my shoulder
 As she began to transform and metamorphosis
 She took on an assortment of legs, arms, heads and eyes
 And sprouted two horns and began to breathe fire
 So once again I grabbed my trusty Sword but to my astonishment
 She burned it to a crisp turned and grasped the Scroll
 And exited much faster than secreted gas, I'm gasping
 Clasp full of flames cast in my direction
 I saw my whole life flash and the possibility of death
 And a casket passed into the ground, pound for pound, astounding
 How could I survive and last another round inside this madness?
 'Whole house freeze'
