[Intro]
From the crack in the sky
I crawl out
Eyes burning
Teeth of midnight glass
Breathing blackened thunder
[Verse 1]
Every step
Ash and cinders
Hear your halo hiss and peel
I wear scars like silver armor
You wear fear you try to conceal
Shadows coil around my knuckles
Lick the sweat from broken stone
I am famine for your heroes
Drag their names from off the throne
[Chorus]
I am the shadow dragon
Crown of smoke and flame
I write your fate in lightning
Scorch your fragile name
Pray to your fading icons
They will not hear a thing
Kneel in my storm and suffer
This is the reign I bring
[Verse 2]
You walk in with borrowed glory
Cheap gold
Plastic pride
I twist daylight into daggers
Turn your war cry into quiet
When I roar
The ceiling shivers
Spotlights choke and fracture out
You swing fists at living darkness
I carve terror in your doubt
[Chorus]
I am the shadow dragon
Crown of smoke and flame
I write your fate in lightning
Scorch your fragile name
Pray to your fading icons
They will not hear a thing
Kneel in my storm and suffer
This is the reign I bring
[Bridge]
Bite down hard
On the blood and glass (get up)
You were never built
To survive my wrath
Black flame rising
Underneath your skin
When I strike
You remember where you’ve been (never again)
[Chorus]
I am the shadow dragon
Crown of smoke and flame
I write your fate in lightning
Scorch your fragile name
Pray to your fading icons
They will not hear a thing
Kneel in my storm and suffer
This is the reign I bring
[Outro]
Lights fade
Crowd screaming (hey!)
Your heartbeat in my claws
One more broken legend
Crushed between my jaws
