[Verse 1]
When dragons ruled the smoky skies
And wizards whispered from afar
A lone man climbed the mountain highs
Where no one dared to raise a spar
Steel on his hip, boots forged for flight
And fire in his back
The world first learned the shadow ghost
They called him Jumping Jack
[Verse 2]
Through timbered pass and frozen stream
He moved like lightning, fast and keen
A traveler trapped by serpent men
With wyverns circling overhead
“Take these boots,” the stranger said
“And strike the dragons’ back!”
Then vanished in the morning mist
Leaving only Jumping Jack
[Chorus (Epic & Rowdy)]
Raise your voices, lift your swords!
Bang the drums and clash the chords!
Thirty-foot leaps, a hundred-mule kick!
Here’s to the ghost—Jumping Jack!
Mountains quake and wyverns fall
Dragons feared his daring call
No army could make him crack
All hail the ghost—Jumping Jack!
[Verse 3]
He struck at riders in the clouds
Sent serpent men crashing down
The dragons circled, high and proud
Yet never dared approach the ground
Some whispered he might be the Light
A warrior from the vanished wars
And even dragons feared the heights
Where Jumping Jack tore through the skies
[Verse 4]
From jagged peaks and shadowed caves
He launched ambushes, fearless, brave
Crossbow bolts and swinging steel
He fought alone, the legend real
In every village, whispered tales
Of wyverns toppled, riders slain
Of boots that leapt and fists that cracked
All in the name of Jumping Jack
[Bridge (Dramatic Fiddle & Drums)]
Who mocked the wyrms? — JACK!
Who broke their riders? — JACK!
Who leapt the cliffs and laughed at death?
JUMPING JACK!
Raise your mugs, stomp your feet
Clap your hands to the daring beat
The mountains echo with his name
Forever live the ghost, Jumping Jack!
[Verse 5]
But pride can rise too high a peak
And daring comes with deadly streak
Jack saw the Gnar dragon’s lair
Its breath like fire, its gaze a snare
He thought he’d steal its hidden hoard
A fool’s ambition, fate ignored
No one heard, no torchlight tracked
The fate of the ghost—Jumping Jack
[Verse 6]
Long before the airships flew
Before Strongcastle faced his flame
The taverns roared with rebel songs
Of dragons driven back
Every mug was raised on high
To boots that leapt and fists that flied
The courage, wit, and daring feat
Of the ghost called Jumping Jack
[Final Chorus (Cinematic, Full Instruments)]
Raise your voices, lift your swords!
Bang the drums and clash the chords!
Thirty-foot leaps, a hundred-mule kick!
Here’s to the ghost—Jumping Jack!
Mountains quake and wyverns fall
Dragons feared his daring call
No army could make him crack
All hail the ghost—Jumping Jack!
