The Fiddler On The Roof

Every tone's worth playing until the last torn string
To help you carry on I'll let my fiddle sing
So high above the ground so dangerous and steep
To guide you with my sound, a promise that I'll keep
While all my bowing's silent so concise all my strokes
Yet my tone so violent, and deadly is his smoke
My scream is voiceless, howling in the dark
Piercing through your brain and straight into your heart

Can you hear the chime? My melody and rhyme
Where ever you go, whatever you do
The fiddler on the roof

And every note I play tonight will find a listening ear
The dragon's breath a beam of light for just one man to hear
They never see me moving, I watch my audience faint
Predict what they are doing and clean up every taint
So this is the last song, for the dragon violin
Bring justice from above, ransom for the sin
My bow and string will never sing again
And soon I will be gone, but one day you will reign
Can you hear the chime?

High up on the gables is where I will remain
You'll be getting famous I'll just be a name
A long forgotten hero
With a story that you can tell
How I loved you and our freedom
And how I played this song so well
