  • Swimming the river ascending
    Free of fear, filled with purpose
    Nishikigoi fights through oceans of adversity
    Against the current to obtain the highest goals

    Swim through oceans of suffering (swim through oceans)
    Climb to the falls of Dragon Gate
    Become
    Transform from koi into a beast
    Dragon

    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

    Swim through oceans of suffering (swim through oceans)
    Climb to the falls of Dragon Gate
    Become
    Transform from koi into a beast
    Dragon

    You'll never stop the becoming, yeah
    This dragon will rise and be king

    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

    Swim through oceans of suffering (Swim through oceans)
    Swim through oceans of suffering (Swim through oceans)
    Climb to the falls of Dragon Gate
    Become
    Transform from koi into a beast

  • Long from Slidell, LaWhile I do agree with the fish turning into a dragon legend, I also think this song could talk about a weak person becoming stronger. They had a lot of struggles and challenges, but they managed to find a way to overcome and they have become stronger. They have turned from a koi to a Dragon. Which is cool, because I admire Dragons.
