[Verse 1] I flew the skies in ages past The kings were weak, their lives lived fast, They built their towers fueled by greed They made a place that fit my need [Pre-Chorus] A cave of gold, a final breath I only wanted peace before death [Chorus] Call me monster, call me flame But you wanted vengeance, and cursed my name I didn’t want your crown or throne Just a place to die alone You call me Smaug, you call me worm But I was old before you were born The Lonely Mountain, I lie within I sleep in sorrow, not in sin [Verse 2] They came with songs and sharpened blades Told their tales while they dug my grave The truth is lost behind their lies Heroes come when dragons die [Pre-Chorus] I ruled no men, I claimed no slaves Just buried gold in mountain caves [Chorus] Call me monster, call me flame But you wanted vengeance, and cursed my name I didn’t want your crown or throne Just a place to die alone You call me Smaug, you call me worm But I was old before you were born The Lonely Mountain, I lie within I sleep in sorrow, not in sin [Bridge – Guitar Solo + Vocal Breakdown] 🔥 (Shredding solo over a half-time beat) (Whispers): “You fear what you don’t understand…” [Final Chorus – Modulated Key for Drama] Call me monster, face my rage But it’s your greed that set the stage Thieving Hobbit, disturbs my rest Forces me to rise up from my nest, I fly to Laketown, my message clear If you don't respect me then you will fear I'm here to scare you, not tear it apart, Until one arrow Stops My heart
