Track: "Scaleborne Denied" [Verse 1] Yo. Let the mountain crack, let the magma spill, I'm the bastard child of the forge, the original ill. Born in a kiln where the bedrock wept, Skin like charred cliff-face the sun never kept. They drew swords when I hatched, said "A monster emerged!" Pointed at the cracked shell, screamed curses and dirges. My love was a furnace, their hearts were just peat, Too weak for the heatwave, too frail for the beat. So I took to the peaks where the oxygen thins, Where a kingdom of silence fucking truly begins. My crown is the obsidian, my throne is the stone, I rule over echoes, and I reign all alone. [Chorus] I AM THE SCAR THAT THE SKY CAN'T SEAL! THE UNWANTED TRUTH MADE OF IRON AND STEEL! BREATHE THE INFERNO, WALK THROUGH THE FIRE! I AM THE JUDGEMENT OF YOUR COWARDLY LIARS! THEY OFFERED ME HATE, I TOOK IT AS FUEL! NOW WATCH THE WORLD BLEED AS I RENEW MY RULE! I'M UGLY? I'M VILIFIED? CAST OUT AND DISDAINED? THIS DRAGON DON'T BLEED, AND THIS DRAGON DON'T PAIN. [Verse 2] They sent battalions with ballistas and spells, Arrows like rain, ringing sanctified bells. I ate the projectiles, I bathed in their "holy" light, Then exhaled a sun to eclipse their false night. Their "beauty" is parchment, it rips and it tears, My "ugliness" endures for a thousand more years. They find strength in their numbers, a pitiful horde, I find peace in the power of a solitary chord. The stillness ain't empty, it's where I connect, To the core of the planet, to my own self-respect. No partner to pity this face made of coal, Just the volcanic resolve that's in total control. [Bridge] In the silence... you hear everything. The grind of the continental plates. The whisper of slow-cooling rage. They thought exile was a punishment. They carved a god out of their rejection. I am not lonely... I am complete. Forged in a crucible they couldn't comprehend. My heart isn't cold... it's just tempered. A diamond formed under pressure they'll never know. [Chorus] I AM THE SCAR THAT THE SKY CAN'T SEAL! THE UNWANTED TRUTH MADE OF IRON AND STEEL! BREATHE THE INFERNO, WALK THROUGH THE FIRE! I AM THE JUDGEMENT OF YOUR COWARDLY LIARS! THEY OFFERED ME HATE, I TOOK IT AS FUEL! NOW WATCH THE WORLD BLEED AS I RENEW MY RULE! I'M UGLY? I'M VILIFIED? CAST OUT AND DISDAINED? THIS DRAGON DON'T BLEED, AND THIS DRAGON DON'T PAIN. [Outro] Yeah... The fire inside... is the only home I need. The mountain's my temple. The ash is my creed. I don't need your love. I don't need your fear. I am the obstacle... that overcomes here. (The dragon remains...)
