[Verse 1] I was scales and smoke Tiny ember in the mountain snow Chased by hunters Ash and oak Nowhere left for a hatchling to go Took on a second skin Little shoes and a cotton dress Hands still shaking Claws tucked in Trying hard to look like all the rest You found me by the river stones Called me “girl” and led me home Your eyes like winter Sharp and slow I should have run But I wanted to know [Chorus] Enemy My enemy You were never meant to be my home You are the fire that’s burning me And still I circle Still I glow If I had a heart of iron You’d be a scar and nothing more Enemy My enemy Why do I keep coming back Back to your side? [Verse 2] You taught me secret words Drew their shapes on my trembling palms Said “Power’s just a heavier sword” I drank them down like healing balms Years like falling leaves You never aged I grew too fast You hunted everything like me I hid my breath each time you passed You’d laugh and say “You’re not like them” While cinders gathered in your hem You held my wrist The mark The brand Never knowing what you held In your hand [Chorus] Enemy My enemy You were never meant to be my home You are the fire that’s burning me And still I circle Still I glow If I had a heart of iron You’d be a scar and nothing more Enemy My enemy Why do I keep coming back Back to your side? [Bridge] [Strings swell Violin climbs] One night the halls ran red You on the floor Steel in your chest Your last spell hanging Half unsaid My name caught under your breath Grief split my ribs like thunder All my scales came searing through Every locked and buried wonder Rose and answered you They crowned me on your ruin Called me goddess Called me flame But all their praise was hollow Without your wicked name [Verse 3] On the blackened field Sky was torn like a broken wing Out of ash A shadow reeled I felt the pull A familiar sting Eyes I knew too well In a body forged of night Horn and talon Bone and spell Dark as sorrow Bright as light You bowed that heavy dragon head “I failed you once ” was all you said I touched your jaw My old regret “This time ” I whispered “Love We do not forget” (oh) [Chorus] Enemy My enemy You were never meant to be my home Now you are the only one Who ever saw me Scale and soul If I had a heart of iron You broke it open with your war Enemy My enemy Come fly beside me now We are enemies Nevermore [Outro] [Soft violin Fading] Smoke and silk and ancient bone Two dark shapes in a rising dawn Sorcery dragon Never alone Our curse turned crown Our wrong turned song Our hearts forever entwined
