When Shadows Learn to Burn

Verse 1

Beneath the moon where the cold wind cries,

In caverns carved from ancient lies,

A shadow dragon guards the night,

Wings of smoke, eyes forged of blight.

He ruled the dark, restrained, alone,

Till silence stole what he called home.

Pre-Chorus

Chains were broken, blood was spilled,

Empty echoes—his heart stood still.

The sky went black, the stars withdrew,

When he learned what fear could do.

Chorus

So let the kingdoms shake and fall,

Let the fire answer his call,

From ash to bone, from scream to flame,

The world will burn and know his name.

For love once stolen can’t be spared,

And gods will bleed when a father’s dared.

Verse 2

Through shattered keeps and broken crowns,

His roar tears cities to the ground,

Shadow and flame entwined as one,

A living eclipse, the midnight sun.

He hunts through steel, through spell, through sin,

No wall can keep his fury in.

Pre-Chorus

Every step, a judgment sworn,

Every breath, the night reborn,

But in the chaos, weak yet clear,

A voice cuts through the smoke and fear.

Bridge

“Father, I am here!!”

The cry rings sharp, the truth draws near,

Chains fall dead, the dark stands still,

Rage gives way to iron will.

Chorus

So let the armies drop their blades,

Let the liars kneel in shame,

For fire bows to something more,

Than hate or wrath or endless war.

The shadow breaks, the flames withdraw,

Before the oldest, truest law.

Final Verse

He folds his wings, the night grows calm,

Smoke-soft scales around his son,

The world still smolders, scarred and torn,

A warning carved in ash and storm.

Outro

Remember this when shadows rise,

And hear a dragon’s battle cry—

The dark may rage, the sky may tear,

But nothing burns like love laid bare.
