Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1 – Humans Searching / Planning Councilman 1:] We must chart the forests wide and deep Where dragons lie in endless sleep [Councilwoman:] The powder stores will hold our might When we finally strike in the right night [Councilman 2:] Scouts will ride from ridge to ridge To mark the lair, to map the bridge [Isolde internal, soft, amused] They speak of battles yet to be Unaware the danger waits with me Their confident plans, their careful schemes Fall quiet where I trace their dreams [Verse 2 – Subtle Observation Isolde (internal):] I watch, I learn, I note each word Each whispered hope, each vow unheard They think the fight is far away Yet I am here, though they don’t sway Polite smiles, measured nods They do not see the fire I prod The sleeping beast they seek outside Walks calmly here, without a guide [Chorus – Dramatic Irony / Foreshadowing All / Isolde internal echo:] The dragon sleeps among the crowd Silent, patient, veiled by shroud They plot the fight they will someday face While I hold fire in hidden space [Verse 3 – Human Confidence / Hubris] [Councilman 1:] We know the paths, the lair, the cave Our powder will make the dragon cave [Councilwoman:] When we find it, steel in hand We’ll end the terror across the land [Councilman 2:] By day or night, by sword or shot The beast will fall, as we have thought [Isolde internal, whispering, quietly triumphant] They plan with certainty, so sure Yet every step I watch, endure Their clever words, their proud belief Are seeds that grow beneath my teeth [Bridge – Ominous Foreshadowing Isolde internal:] One spark, one word, one careless move Can change the course they hope to prove They speak of battles far away Yet all the power rests where I stay [Final Chorus – Layered Irony] [All / Isolde internal echo:] The dragon sleeps among the crowd Silent, patient, veiled by shroud They plot the fight they will someday face While I hold fire in hidden space
