The Morning Of The Dragon
(It is three years later. Saigon has been renamed Ho Chi Minh City. A street pageant is celebrating the glorious victory of North Vietnam and the Third Anniversary of Reunification.)
FIRST GROUP 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 Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com and in the clear white heat of dawn was gone. . .
FIRST GROUP SECOND GROUP 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
FIRST GROUP SECOND GROUP 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
FIRST GROUP SECOND THIRD GROUP 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
FIRST GROUP 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. . .
(two soldiers enter with the ENGINEER)
ENGINEER three years of school was nice in rice fields, planting rice you did good work you see re-educating me
SOLDIERS 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
SOLDIERS 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
