Verse 1 I gave you a warning, you laughed in my face Now you’re crawling back, begging for a little grace You lit the fire, you loved the show Now the flames got higher than you’ll ever know You thought I was gone, just a ghost in black But monsters like me always find their way back I told you once — nothing survives When you play with hell, it comes alive Chorus 🔥 The old dragon wakes — hear the crowd scream loud No place to run when you burned it all down Call it fate, call it your mistake I’m the nightmare you just couldn’t escape Verse 2 Now you’re crying out, “We didn’t mean it this way” Funny how guilt’s got a price to pay You ask me why, you beg me how But mercy’s dead — and it won’t help you now I don’t do this for fortune, I don’t do it for fame You just forgot who was running the game So light up the stage, let the curtains fall I’ll make damn sure you don’t hurt anyone at all Chorus The old dragon wakes — hear the crowd scream loud No place to run when you burned it all down Call it fate, call it your mistake I’m the nightmare you just couldn’t escape Bridge (quiet, theatrical) Ashes and velvet, I’m still standing tall You wanted a war — I didn’t call You whisper for mercy, down on your knees But ghosts don’t listen to desperate pleas Some lines you cross — they never fade Some deals with fire are never repaid Outro / Spoken (dark, slow) In the smoke and the ruins… there was something left… No judge… no jury… just love… stripped bare… She saw these hands… not the blood they wore… She saw a man… …not the monster you made me for You didn’t just take a life from me… You took the last thing that let me believe So this ain’t about power… And it sure as hell ain’t about gold… It’s about what you took… …and what I’ll never hold Final Chorus (bigger, anthem-like) The old dragon roared — now he owns the night Never gets tired of the hunt or the fight You woke him with pain, with betrayal and lies Now all that’s left… is your demise
