[Intro] [Low, heavy distorted guitar riff – slow, powerful, rooted in Doric mode] [Underlaid with deep, rolling bodhrán beat and distant, haunting tin whistle melody] [Guitars build – chugging, rhythmic, heavy as mountain stone] [Drums crash in – thunderous, driving] [Verse 1] Beneath the sky where clouds roll grey Where hills rise sharp and rivers wind their way This earth has known our feet since time began Where ancient bones still guard the land Green valleys breathe, the mountains stand tall Every stone here knows my name, my call From the coast where waves beat wild and free To the high moors where the wind sings to me I walk the paths that my fathers trod Where roots run deep through clay and soil No border line, no chain can hold The spirit shaped by this soil of old [Music swells – guitars ring out, drums drive harder] [Pre-Chorus] It’s not just land, it’s not just ground It’s fire and life that I have found A legacy carved in every stone This heart beats true — and it’s all my own [Chorus] Red dragon’s blood runs through my veins Fire in my heart, in every vein Green fields stretch wide where my soul remains Wales, my home — my pride, my name Born of the hills, born of the sea This ancient land lives on in me Dragon’s fire burns bright and bold Proud to be Welsh — my story told [Guitars: heavy, melodic, layered; folk lead weaves through the vocal line] [Vocals: soaring, powerful, open — full emotion, unshakable strength] [Verse 2] The language soft as rain on slate Songs that carry the weight of fate We’ve stood through storm, we’ve stood through night Held fast our truth, held fast our light Castles crumbled, walls fell down But the flame inside has never drowned From the north peaks to the southern shore This is the land I will adore Every breath I take is filled with you Every beat of my heart is loyal, true No matter where my feet may roam This red earth will always be my home [Pre-Chorus] It’s not just land, it’s not just ground It’s fire and life that I have found A legacy carved in every stone This heart beats true — and it’s all my own [Chorus] Red dragon’s blood runs through my veins Fire in my heart, in every vein Green fields stretch wide where my soul remains Wales, my home — my pride, my name Born of the hills, born of the sea This ancient land lives on in me Dragon’s fire burns bright and bold Proud to be Welsh — my story told [Bridge] [Music drops to half-time — atmospheric, spacious, haunting] [Clean guitar arpeggios, low whistle melody, soft drums] [Vocals: intimate, tender, then rising with intensity] They tried to tame us, tried to break our will But the dragon sleeps — it never will Die out or fade, or lose its place It lives in every face, in every race Of sons and daughters born to this ground Who carry the fire, who carry the sound [Guitars build — heavy, layered, folk melody turning into a crushing riff] [Choir harmonies swell — big, Celtic-style choral backing] [Drums build to a crescendo] We are the keepers of the old ways still Dragon’s blood runs through us, and it always will [Guitar Solo / Folk Lead] [Blend of heavy metal lead and traditional Celtic melody — fast, soaring, emotional, rooted in Welsh folk scales] [Rhythm section: tight, heavy, driving — metalcore chugs and double bass] [Final Chorus] Red dragon’s blood runs through my veins Fire in my heart, in every vein Green fields stretch wide where my soul remains Wales, my home — my pride, my name Born of the hills, born of the sea This ancient land lives on in me Dragon’s fire burns bright and bold Proud to be Welsh — my story told [Repeat, louder, more powerful, with layered harmonies] [Outro] [Music slows, heavy chords ring out] [Tin whistle melody returns, slow and proud] [Vocals: soft, clear, final, heartfelt] Proud of the red, proud of the green Proud of the life that lies between Dragon’s blood — my truth, my right Wales forever — my heart, my light [Final heavy chord, fades into the sound of wind over hills]
