Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] Red sun on the river Smoke curls from the war fires Silk flags breathing on the wind Steel hearts, quiet riders Ink map on the table Brush strokes mark the border Old wine, one last bitter cup Before we march to order [Chorus] Sing the legends of the Dragon Names carved deep in stone Dust returns to dust again But the story finds a home From mountain storms to burning plains We rise, we fall, we’re gone Still the elders by the lanterns Whisper legends of the Dragon (hey!) [Verse 2] Moonlight on the armor Each dent holds a lifetime Your hand shakes, tying leather knots You laugh and call it fine Drums call from the courtyard Horses bite the cold air You bow once toward your father’s grave Then ride and never dare stare [Chorus] Sing the legends of the Dragon Names carved deep in stone Dust returns to dust again But the story finds a home From mountain storms to burning plains We rise, we fall, we’re gone Still the elders by the lanterns Whisper legends of the Dragon (oh-woah) [Bridge] If I fall by the river bend Turn my face toward the dawn Let the crane cry overhead Carry my small name on [Chorus] Sing the legends of the Dragon Names carved deep in stone Dust returns to dust again But the story finds a home From mountain storms to burning plains We rise, we fall, we’re gone Still the elders by the lanterns Whisper legends of the Dragon They will whisper of the Dragon

Epic Chinese court-orchestra feel, male vocals; guzheng and dizi carrying the main motif, steady war-drum pulse, and bold suona accents on the hook. Verses stay restrained with sparse strings and soft gongs; chorus surges with full ensemble, group shouts, and echoed reverb tails. Bridge drops to quiet erhu and low drum heartbeat before a triumphant final chorus with layered call-and-response vocals.
