+ Show full styles

[Intro Instrumental - Drums and guitar roar, lute cracks wild arpeggios] [Intro] Kingdom begged, I took the quest, Knights were burned, wizards distressed, They said, “Go forth and do your best,” I grabbed my lute and did the rest. [Verse 1] Cavern burns with molten gold, Her blazing scales, eyes so bold, My chest pounds fast, my courage sold, She roars a note I can’t withhold. [Pre-Chorus 1] Flames lick high, I take a breath, Could die in fire, or flirt with death. [Chorus 1] I strum my lute and tempt her might, I dodge her tail, I tease, I fight, Her envy burns through cavern gray... Too Hot to Slay! (Too Hot to Slay!) [Verse 2] “Your hoard’s immense, but who holds you tight? Kings kneel, mortals flee your sight, I offer a song instead of fight, Come closer, dragon, I’m your light.” [Pre-Chorus 2] Tail snaps close, sparks scorch the floor, I wink — she’s fierce, but I want more. [Chorus 2] I step too close, my hair afire, The dragon’s glare could melt a lyre, She laughs, amused by what I say... Too Hot to Slay! (Too Hot to Slay!) [Instrumental Transition - Guitar mimics claws, drums thunder like hooves, lute wails in panic] [Bridge] Will I burn or become her ride? Hit points low, no cleric nearby, Flames lick higher, scales scrape stone, I sing and flirt like I own the throne, Molten spatter, tail swings wide, My reckless bard self cannot hide, One fiery queen, one mortal fool, She laughs, amused — my plan’s a jewel. [Verse 3] Survived the heat, still standing tall, No knight could sway her, none at all, She circles me, amused by my call, I wink — this bard has no downfall. [Pre-Chorus 3] I strum my lute, flames dance in tune, Her eyes alight — I make her swoon. [EIC FINAL Chorus – 8 lines] I risk it all, my lute, my soul, I flirt with fire, I dodge the coal, She burns the land, yet I still play, (Too Hot to Slay!) I tease, I grin, I own the fray, Envy in her eyes, she cannot stay, Kings would kneel, I laugh and sway, No throne can claim her, yet I may... TOO HOT TO SLAY! (TOO HOT TO SLAY!) [Outro Instrumental - Fade out with roaring flames, guitar solos mimic dragon wings, lute squeals in triumph]
