“The world forgot the dragon’s name…
But now the flame walks again…”
---
[Verse 1 – Rap (William L. Black’s POV)]
I was sleepin’ in a tomb while the world turned gray,
Millennium deep, now I’m back from the clay.
Eyes open, I see death in the mist,
Doors wide — they ain’t ready for the twist.
Had my name carved in legend, then they buried it in silence,
Now I’m ridin’ on the ashes of a thousand-year defiance.
Chains on my soul couldn’t hold this breath,
I was sealed with the gods, now I’m woke — bring death.

[Hook – Female Vocal with echo FX, layered with Gates-style adlibs]
“Doors don’t close when fate’s callin’…
Even stars fall when the past comes walkin’.
World on fire, I rise from the smoke,
Call me king… I don’t bleed, I spoke.”
(“I spoke… I woke… I broke…” – adlib whisper echo)

[Verse 2 – Rap (Deeper emotion, focused on legacy)]
Lost my brothers in that war, ain’t no peace in my veins,
I got ghosts in my armor and blood in the rain.
Built empires just to watch ‘em decay,
Now they prayin’ to false gods, I’m the one that they betrayed.
Yeah, they called it myth — now it’s war in the city,
Monsters out the Doors, it get dark, it get gritty.
But I’m calm in the carnage, got the past in my palm,
Zanshiryū on my hip, bring death with a psalm.

[Bridge – Spoken word over stripped-down beat]
“Power’s not the blade… it’s the silence you hold before you swing.”
“I’m not here to save the world… I’m here to reset it.”

[Final Hook – Vocal + Rap Harmony]
“Doors don’t close when fate’s callin’…
Even stars fall when the past comes walkin’.”
(“Yeah, they sleepin’ on a dragon, now I’m breathin’ flame…”)
“World on fire, I rise from the smoke,
Call me king… I don’t bleed, I spoke.”
