about

Tom and Sue Jeffers (Stone Dragons) wrote a wonderful song called Spellbound, but the ending left me saying "Oh no, there is more to this story." Hence this song was inspired by, and is the sequel to, Spellbound.

lyrics

A girl once wished for freedom - And a dragon granted it,
But what she didn't know was - Never trust a dragon's gift.
For with no plan, just yearning - He could twist it as he chose,
And the trap of ocean waters - Is still a cage door closed.

They say a woman's scorn burns hotter than hell's ire,
But a mermaid's rage is fiercer . . than a dragon's fire.

At first all she could do was add the water of her tears,
Then slowly she overcame the weight of all her fears.
As sorrow turned to anger at how she had been used,
She went in search of others - this dragon had abused.

They say a woman's scorn burns hotter than hell's ire,
But a mermaid's rage is fiercer . . than a dragon's fire.

She gathered other mermaids by the same dragon deceived.
They visited the sea witch and redress was conceived.
For justice lure him back to that beach upon the coast,
To take away from him - the thing he treasures most.

They say a woman's scorn burns hotter than hell's ire,
But a mermaid's rage is fiercer . . than a dragon's fire.

A ring of coiled gilded gold was offered as a gift,
And greedily accepted then it hissed as he grabbed it.
Snake scales grew as dragon wings shattered on the sand,
He would never soar the sky again - a mere snake upon the land.

They say a woman's scorn burns hotter than hell's ire,
But a mermaid's rage is fiercer . . than a dragon's fire!
