The Green Door
by Michael Long
Lyrics
Verse 1
A round green door, a knock at noon
Thirteen boots invade the room
An old map burns with mountain signs
A quiet life crosses the line
Verse 2
Through troll-lit woods and goblin stone
He finds a blade and calls it home
A riddled cave, a ring of gold
One small hand, a secret held
Chorus
Out from the hill, into the flame
A little heart can change the game
Past iron gates, through ash and rain
He walks back home—not quite the same
Verse 3
The dragon wakes above the hoard
His words become a sharpened sword
A lake-town falls beneath the blaze
Then armies gather in the haze
Bridge
The stone divides, the proud stand tall
But greed can break the strongest wall
When darkness gathers on the field
A humble choice becomes a shield
Chorus
Out from the hill, into the flame
A little heart can change the game
Past iron gates, through ash and rain
He walks back home—not quite the same
Outro
The mountain sleeps, the road unwinds
A battered pack, a clearer mind
The green door waits beneath the sun
The far-off tale is never done
