Fire In the Night ~Debt of Flame~

(Instrumental) Here is a sword. Here is a quest. Here is the fire hung high in the sky. Here is the shape of a legend professed. Go on. Take hold. You know why. Call it a knight with a dragon to slay. Call it a tale worn thin by time. The role's been carved from ancient clay. Everything's ready. Everything rhymes. (Chorus) Heart of flame beats and rages (never asked for the quest) Fossilized fire in the throat (never asked for mercy) Ironbound scales drink the light (never asked for the gift) Claws carve the earth below... But the dragon rises (against the gods) The dragon soars (against the world) Here is a debt with no door, no name. Here is a heart that was never your own. Here is the woman who lit the flame Here is the throne. You inherit alone. Call it a quest. Call it a tale. Call it a dragon that plays the knight. The irony fits... it'll never fail. Go on. Step forward. Take up the light. (Chorus) Heart of flame beats and rages (never asked for the quest) Fossilized fire in the throat (never asked for mercy) Ironbound scales drink the light (never asked for the gift) Claws carve the earth below... But the dragon rises (against the gods) The dragon soars (against the world) (instrumental) (Bridge) See? The story always knew. The debt already had a shape. The rage already had a name. Call it a quest. Call it a tale. Go on. See what it does. (Final Chorus) Heart of flame beats and rages (never asked for the quest) Fossilized fire in the throat (never asked for mercy) Ironbound scales drink the light (never asked for the gift) Claws carve the earth below... Still the dragon rises (against the gods) Still the dragon soars (against the world) Don't expect gratitude. Only fangs. Only flame.
