[Intro - Soft piano, distant thunder, choir swells. Then HEAVY ORCHESTRA AND RIFFS.]
[Ancient, powerful voice]
They call them disasters... gods of destruction.
I call them partners.
Come, hunter. Let us dance.

[Verse 1 - Symphonic metal, soaring vocals]
I've danced with Fatalis in Schrade's eternal flame
When castles burned and kingdoms fell, I whispered its true name
We twirled among the rubble while the world collapsed around
I looked into its ancient eyes and felt no fear—just sound
The Black Dragon paused its rampage, tilted its great head
As if to say "You know me, child—you know the words unsaid"
I raised my blade, it raised its claw, we met in sacred space
A Wyverian and an Elder—locked in time and place
---
[Pre-Chorus]
Lightning strikes! Fire blazes!
Hunters stand amazed!
I dance through elder hazes!
---
[Chorus]
DANCING WITH ELDERS! FEEL THE SACRED RHYTHM!
DANCING WITH ELDERS! EVERY MOVE A PRISM!
DANCING WITH ELDERS! TEOSTRA, KUSHALA TOO!
DANCING WITH ELDERS! I'LL SHOW YOU WHAT I CAN DO!
---
[Verse 2 - Driving, intense]
I sang with Amatsu in the rain when storms swept through the sky
The Storm Serpent wrapped around me, lifted me up high
We rode the winds above the clouds, above the mortal plain
I felt its ancient sorrow in the droplets and the rain
Teostra taught me how to glow, to burn and not consume
Lunastra showed me how to rage without creating doom
Kirin let me touch its horn and live to tell the tale
These are not monsters, hunter—spirits without veil
---
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Thunder roars! Lightning soars!
Hunters ignore!
I dance on sacred shores!
---
[Chorus]
DANCING WITH ELDERS! FEEL THE SACRED RHYTHM!
DANCING WITH ELDERS! EVERY MOVE A PRISM!
DANCING WITH ELDERS! TEOSTRA, KUSHALA TOO!
DANCING WITH ELDERS! I'LL SHOW YOU WHAT I CAN DO!

[Bridge - Spoken]
[Whispered]
They asked me why they do not kill me.
"Because I respect them. I honor them.
And elders... remember respect."
---
[Verse 3 - Fast, chaotic]
Chameleos took my memories, gave them back with interest!
Namielle drowned me in the deep, then raised me as a christ!
Velkhana froze my blood and thawed it with a single breath!
I am the one who dances with the dragons—I dance with death!
Shagaru showed me light that burns within the dark!
Gore Magala's frenzy sang to me and left its sacred mark!
Valstrax raced me round the world at Mach Five speeds of light!
I am not a hunter—I am these dragons' sacred right!
---
[Guitar Solo - Symphonic metal, neo-classical]
---
[Final Chorus - Massive, triumphant]
DANCING WITH ELDERS! FEEL THE SACRED RHYTHM!
DANCING WITH ELDERS! EVERY MOVE A PRISM!
DANCING WITH ELDERS! FATALIS, ALATREON TOO!
DANCING WITH ELDERS! I'LL SHOW YOU—
---
[Outro - Fading piano, distant thunder]
[Whispered]
...what I can do.
The elders wait...
...and I dance on.
