[Spoken Intro:] "Before there were thrones, before there were gods Before fire had a name and death had a face They ruled In the black water of creation In the endless dark between stars They were born without mercy" [Verse 1] Tiamat boiling in primordial seas Mother of chaos, blood of the deep Jörmungandr coils around the world Fate clenched tight in scaled teeth curled Vritra choking rivers dry Apophis swallowing the sky Apep waits in endless night To kill the sun with venomus spite [Pre-Chorus] Gods were born from dragon screams Serpents haunt forgotten dreams [Chorus] Honor the flame, the fang, the scale Ancient kings that never fail Wings of ruin, endless coils Crowned in fire, blood, and soil [Verse 2] Quetzalcoatl crowned in feathered fire Sky-serpent god of death and life Zmey Gorynych, triple maw Burning cities, breaking law Níðhöggr gnaws the roots below Eating worlds so none may grow Leviathan beneath the tide Endless hunger, never dies [Pre-Chorus] From every myth, from every land Dragons rise unbound, unmanned [Chorus] Praise the storm, the scale, the flame Many forms, one endless reign Sky and sea and roots below All will kneel when serpents grow [Bridge Breakdown] Python slain but never gone Fafnir cursed by greed and gold Ryūjin storms the ocean throne Vasuki coils where gods once strode Ladon guarding poisoned fruit Zahhak wears the serpent crown Every myth a bleeding truth Every scale a kingdom down [Final Chorus] Raise the roar of ancient fire Scaled dominion never tired From the deep to shattered skies We stand as one when dragons rise [Outro] When the last god fades away The serpents stay
