Intro (Spoken / Eerie Guitar + Soft Synth):
(Male)
“They call it the dragon… every line, every hit… it breathes fire straight into my veins.” *(whisper: “yeah… feel it…”) *

Verse 1 (Male Rap – Intensified Dragon Imagery + Ad-Libs):
Wake up, dragon’s claws digging in my chest (ugh…),
White lines like fire trails, can’t escape unrest (yeah… fire…).
Whispers in shadows, stalking my name (shhh…),
Promising heaven, but it’s only flame (burn…).
Smoke curls like from a dragon’s lair (hiss…),
I see its eyes in the mirror, feel its stare (uhh…).
Every hit steals a piece, leaves me hollow (rawww…),
Reach for the light, dragon roars for more (roar…).
It coils my mind, squeezes my soul (squeeze…),
Breathes fire in my veins, takes its toll (ahhh…).
I fight, I crawl, demons at the door (dance…),
Dragon laughs… always wanting more (hah…).

Verse 2 (Male Rap – Intensified Dragon Imagery + Ad-Libs, No Choir):
Needle eyes in the mirror, dragon coiled behind (coiled…),
Victory lost, every line it finds (find it…).
Love left on the table, life slipping through my hands (slip…),
Dragon’s wings beating, burning plans (flap…).
I hear it breathing, feel the heat at night (hiss…),
Every choice pulled into its fight (pull…).
Claws on my chest, heart on the line (crush…),
Angels weep, but the dragon’s mine (hah…).
Feeds on fears, laughs at cries (hah…),
Beast in the dark, fire in its eyes (fire…).
Every escape I dream, every run I chase (run…),
Dragon finds me… face to face (face…).

Dragon roaring, I’m falling apart (roar…),

I hear your voice: “fight, fight, fight, don’t despair” (fight…).
