Embers of Solitude

[Verse 1]
In ancient mountains, I reside alone
Feared by all, yet still unknown
My heart beats fierce, my soul aflame
I search for my mate, but alone I remain

[Chorus]
In darkness I burn, with fire in my soul 
Forever alone, till your heart makes me whole 

[Verse 2]
Through smoke and embers, I see the past
A memory of love, that was supposed to last
I roar with desire, my flames reaching high
But no golden hoard of treasure will satisfy

[Bridge]
In anger I destroy their homes & fields
They’ll just rebuild again
It doesn’t help me a bit to heal
Just a dragon without a friend

[Verse 3]
The knights attack, so I must defend
I’m not ready to die, this is not my end
My mate is near I can feel her heartbeat
I call out to her in the hope we can meet

[Outro]
I hold out hope for one more day
I refuse to be their dragon to slay
