Stayed Lost

[Ruby – singing] Welcome back Gonna wish you stayed lost in the ash Say hello To a queen with a crown, not a queen of the past Light the beacon high! Word across the kingdom is the tyrant’s been seen Skulking through the canyons like a bad old dream After seven years gone Did anybody mourn her? Anybody care? More tonight on Skyfire So, Queen Scarlet slithered back into the scene But what's she scheming? What’s she mean? Well lucky for you, I’ve got news She’s old, she's broken, and I don't mean to be cruel But the dragon is a coward I’ve made that rule Trying to stir up fear? Please, she’s a fossil You want to follow her? That's colossal She’s irrelevant, I’m dominant She’s the past, I’m the monument Don’t give her a second glance She had her bloody chance While she played tyrant in exile I’ve ruled with justice and style Now her “legacy” is nothing but a stain The Sky Kingdom doesn’t need her flame [Scarlet – sauntering in, voice like smoke] Ohhh, darling Ruby So bold, so brash You shine so bright— Yet quake like ash Yes, I’ve been gone But not forgotten You rule a kingdom I ruled with fear, with fire—rotten Dragons remember me Not for peace, but power And now I’ve come to watch your kingdom cower [Ruby] What a dramatic return—so predictable! [Scarlet] Says the dragon hiding behind her council table [Ruby] Is Scarlet bitter? Out for clout? Trying to crawl back in, but luck ran out? [Scarlet] Ruby talks like she’s Queen of the Sky But how high can she fly, when she’s living a lie? [Ruby] You’re clinging to ruins, stuck in the past While I built something real—something built to last! [Scarlet] Oh sweetheart, here’s a secret for your ears You begged me to ally, back when you had fears [Ruby] What? Lies! [Scarlet] You asked me once to join your rule And I said no—now who's the fool? [Ruby] You scorched-up hag You want a war? [Scarlet] Your reign is buffering, dear—can’t take any more [Ruby] I’ll burn you down! [Scarlet] Oh, I missed this sound Let’s begin… [Scarlet – singing] Gonna wish I stayed buried beneath the stone But this time, dear You’re not alone Your throne? Your crown? Let’s see them drown It’s time the Sky Kingdom remembered… How I ran this town.
