[Verse 1]
Name on the parchment
Flame turned blue
I never asked for this
But it chose me, too
Cold stone corridors
Eyes burn like brands
Friends locked behind rails
I stand where I stand
[Pre-Chorus]
Every whisper sharp as glass
Every step could be my last
[Chorus]
Throw me to the dragon, I will rise
Trial by fire, I won’t close my eyes
Breathing smoke, but I’m still alive
If the world wants blood tonight
Let it be mine
Let it be mine
[Verse 2]
Maze grows around me
Walls twist, breathe
Cedric’s shadow
Racing through the leaves
Water in my lungs
Echoes from the deep
Hands pull me under
I swore I’d never leave
[Pre-Chorus]
Every trial cuts to bone
But I won’t walk out alone
[Chorus]
Throw me to the dragon, I will rise
Trial by fire, I won’t close my eyes
Breathing smoke, but I’m still alive
If the world wants blood tonight
Let it be mine
Let it be mine
[Bridge]
Graveyard air
Smells like dust and doom
A laugh like poison
Fills the tomb
Wand locked, scars flare
Sky splits in two
He came back calling
And he called for you
[Breakdown]
(Can you feel it?)
One flash
One scream
One boy
One dream
Bring him back
Take me instead
I’ll wear the mark
I’ll face the dread
[Chorus]
Throw me to the dragon, I will rise
Trial by fire, I won’t close my eyes
Breathing smoke, but I’m still alive
If the world wants blood tonight
Let it be mine
Yeah, let it be mine
[Outro]
Blue flame flickers
On my skin
I walked through darkness
I walk back in
Names carved in stone
I speak them clear
The cup fed fear
But it ends this year
