    Story Behind the Song
    First real song I wrote for the band, written back in our developing days
    when we ( I )decided that we didn't want to be a another cover band.
    Wrote it actually pretty quick while viewing and listening to a rehearsal /
    jam session we had videotaped earlier that same night. I was thinking
    about some kind of archeological exploration deep in a forest; had this
    idea of a curse being discovered on the inner walls inside a secret-sealed
    tomb; a curse of a giant wrath-giving dragonfly.
    While developing this song in the rehearsal studio, and trying to figure out
    a "serious" beginning, there was a musical-theory battle going on between
    the guitarists and the bass player, who thought that the acoustic opening /
    beginning I'ld (John) written, wouldn't or didn't theorectically / musically fit and,
    since he was musically trained and educated, I couldn't be right ... well, as
    you can hear, I won, and it did fit....I guess my, back then, 15+years of being
    self-taught and writing and playing by ear isn't wasn't such a loss after all

    Lyrics
    (acoustic guitars during opening: John and Robert Martini)

    In the middle of the forest in the, dead of night
    Better beware 'cause you, you just can't hide
    No where to run to, no place to go
    Why did you come back, came, back for more

    You know, you can't hide
    Listen, don't you hear
    Dragonfly, whoa-o-o

    On the walls of the ruins the, Ancient's left
    Warnings -written -in -stone -the, inscriptions read
    He who enters shall, never leave
    You were warned you, but you, didn't believe

    You know, you can't hide, listen
    Don't you fear
    Dragonfly (solo: Robert Martini) whoa-o-o-o

    You know, you can't hide, listen
    Don't you fear
    Dragonfly, whoa-o-o

    In the middle of the forest in the, dead of night
    Better beware 'cause you, you just can't hide
    Nowhere to run to no, place to go
    Why did you come back, came, back for more

    You know, you can't hide, listen
    Don't you fear
    Dragonfly, whoa-o-o

    Dragonfly, who-o-o

    Dra -gon -fly

    -end
