[Verse]
In the shadow of the mountain steep and grim
Hedukiss guards the life within
Scales of fire deep as ruby's glow
A godly beast all mortals know
[Chorus]
Oh Hedukiss the mighty the flame that breathes
The guardian of the roots and the leaves
Roaring thunder and yet kind at his core
A protector of life forevermore
[Verse 2]
Tales are sung in the tavern's flickering light
Of a dragon who turns darkness to bright
With wings outspread like clouds on the storm
A godlike presence fierce yet warm
[Chorus]
Oh Hedukiss the mighty the flame that breathes
The guardian of the roots and the leaves
Roaring thunder and yet kind at his core
A protector of life forevermore
[Bridge]
Ancient whispers roll down the valley wide
"Approach not his lair where secrets hide"
Yet those pure of heart might his blessing find
A god’s compassion to all humankind
[Verse 3]
No knight's blade could pierce his sacred hide
But 'tis love and mercy where his strength resides
A beacon ‘gainst doom a king of the skies
With golden embers where his wisdom lies
