Children of Strongcastle

Once the world knew its place beneath our wings of flame

Cities trembled at our shadows, kingdoms bowed before our name

Fear was natural, fear was wisdom, fear kept mortals alive

Now I watch the world below me and I barely recognize

They don't scatter when we're coming

They don't pray for us to pass

They build engines, forge new weapons

Turn our future into ash

Something's changing in the darkness

Something's broken in the chain

The hunters wear a human face

And dragons whisper names

Children of Strongcastle

Turning heaven upside down

Kings of air and iron thunder

Hunting dragons from the clouds

Children of Strongcastle

Every victory feeds the fire

Now the monsters tell their stories

And the dragons speak in fear

Oh-oh-oh

How did prey become the hunter?

Oh-oh-oh

How did humans reach this high?

Richard and Mark command the heavens

Make the endless sky a grave

Every cloud becomes an ambush

Every storm a hidden blade

David builds impossible weapons

Dreams become reality

Invisible ships drift through the darkness

Stealing every certainty

Donna stands before our kind

With no trembling in her voice

Speaking not as lesser creature

But as one who has a choice

And I hear the old ones murmuring

Ancient names we thought were dead

Every tale becomes a warning

Every nightmare fills with dread

Children of Strongcastle

Turning heaven upside down

Kings of air and iron thunder

Hunting dragons from the clouds

Children of Strongcastle

Every victory feeds the fire

Now the monsters tell their stories

And the dragons speak in fear

Andrew walks with ancient shadows

Sword and man no longer two

Something old and something newborn

Something none of us can name

Young Richard builds tomorrow's weapons

Zack comes flying through the night

Drake's Bane shining in the darkness

Leaping farther than our sight

Amanda sees the hidden pathways

Rose-lit eyes that never fail

Every secret, every weakness

Every lie becomes a trail

Tell me where this ends

Tell me who can stop them now

Tell me why the mighty dragons

Fear the children of a house

Children of Strongcastle

Burning through the age of scales

Every battle shifts the balance

Every legend tips the scales

Children of Strongcastle

Breaking what the world once knew

And for all my strength and fury

I can see the dreadful truth

Something must be done

Before the world belongs to them

Something must be done

Before they teach all men to fight

Something must be done

Before the dragons lose the sky

But when I dream of war

I see their faces in the fire

And for the first time in my life

I understand fear

The Children of Light returned...

Not from heaven...

From Strongcastle.---
