[Intro |gritty controlled vocal] Something moved beneath the stone Pete struck fire and woke the bones I gave breath to what was there Now something's breathing in the air [Verse 1] We didn't come to chase a name We came to wake a different flame Six strings cut against the grain Then that first note broke the chain I heard the warning in that sound Felt something rising underground No turning back, no standing still We opened something with a will [Pre-Chorus] Feel it move Feel it rise Fire waking Behind those eyes [Chorus] WELCOME TO THE DRAGON'S LAIR Feel that thunder shake the air Feed the flame and let it breathe Wake the thing that sleeps beneath THE DRAGON'S LAIR No retreat once you're inside Two men standing face to face With the fire we brought to life [Verse 2] Every riff became a scar Every word pushed it too far Drums hit hard, the low end rolled Then the beast took full control We didn't tame it, never tried We just learned to let it ride When the final downbeat falls You can hear it through the walls [Breakdown] STRIKE THE STRING— [RIFF] HIT THE GROUND— [RIFF] GIVE IT VOICE— [RIFF] WAKE IT UP! [Chorus] WELCOME TO THE DRAGON'S LAIR Feel that thunder shake the air Feed the flame and let it breathe Wake the thing that sleeps beneath THE DRAGON'S LAIR Two men standing in the fire One brought thunder One brought voice AND WE LET THE DRAGON RISE! [Outro] We woke it. Now let it roar. THE DRAGON'S LAIR. [DEAD STOP]
