	no your way off there was a dam in china somewhere that clapsed and killed 1000s of people becouse the government and Architects built it as cheap as posible and it was called the river dragon and the whole song is based on that as the title of the song says

	Damn, I think the first explanation is better, but the second seems very plausible. I'll stick with the former.

	cryptica is pretty close... in fact, heres a book about it with the same title: http://www.irn.org/programs/threeg/dragon.html Its about the Yangtze river in china. Two dams broke in 1975 and it killed thousands of people. Heres an article on the dams (for those interested): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shimantan_Dam I think the "river dragon" is a spirit believed to live in the water (sort of a river god I guess). It came, and it took the people away. I think the main idea of the song (through the lines "the three will fall" is this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three_gorges_dam The three gorges dam is the largest hydroelectric dam in the world and there is a lot of controversy going on about it (thats what the book i linked to above is about). Nevermore seems to think the river dragon just warned them in 1975, and that it will eventually bring down the 3 gorges dam. I cant figure out what the last line "the seventh crown" is referring to though... I'll keep looking.

	This song is the reason i got into nevermore. I LOVE NEVERMORE!!!! i think this song's about flooding....

	knowing the way nevermore writes their lyrics it is most likely cryptica's interpretation. i've seen a bunch of religious analogies with nevermore, and i can say that they aren't really for religion in their music. the people saying these things probably just think too much about religion and associate everything to it if they can.
