[Verse 1]
Swimming the river, ascending
Free of fear; filled with purpose
Nishikigoi fights through oceans of adversity
Against the current to obtain the highest goals
[Refrain]
Swim through oceans of suffering (swim through oceans)
[Chorus]
Climb to the falls of Dragon Gate
Become...
Transform from koi into a beast
Dragon...
[Verse 2]
A living symbol of courage
No wave will shatter these scales (shatter these scales)
Dreams of three eagle claws and the paws of a tiger
Waterfall's up ahead; one thing left to do
[Refrain]
Swim through oceans of suffering (swim through oceans)
[Chorus]
Climb to the falls of Dragon Gate
Become...
Transform from koi into a beast
Dragon...
[Breakdown]
You'll never stop the becoming, yeah
This dragon will rise and be king
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
All bear witness to a great form
Evolution is complete
A breath that turns into clouds producing rain or fire
Watch the world move according to each desire
[Refrain]
Swim through oceans of suffering (swim through oceans)
Swim through oceans of suffering (swim through oceans)
[Chorus]
Climb to the falls of Dragon Gate
Become...
Transform from koi into a beast
Dragon...
[Guitar Solo]
[Ba** Solo]
