[Massive volcanic eruption intro – thunderous drums, crushing guitars, dark powerful melody] From the heart of the mountain Where ancient fires burn A shadow wakes from ages past The world begins to turn Zarvakar, the Mountain Flame A thousand years of fear and fame Kings would hide, armies came All who heard his name felt fear [Heavy melodic guitar riff] He left his ancient mountain throne To find a world he’d never known A mighty force with wings of stone A dragon’s power all his own [Explosive heavy rock section] He joined the fire brigade A perfect choice, the best they made A burning house, a desperate cry He spread his wings into the sky One breath of fire, one mighty roar The fire was gone… and so was the door [Powerful guitar break] He found a kitchen, bright and grand A place where fire was in command “I know this art, I know this flame The greatest chefs will know his name” The feast was ready, the tables shone A dragon’s craft unlike they’d known He breathed one spark, the final touch A little spark… not very much The kitchen roared, the windows shook Smoke and fire filled every nook The guests ran out into the street While Zarvakar stood in the heat “Excellent meal.” [Dark slow guitar passage – dramatic and mysterious] He took the night watch, cold and still A perfect job upon the hill No thief would dare to cross his way No shadow pass before the day He stood there like a mountain stone Guarding the gate all on his own But as the silent hours passed by His dragon snores filled up the sky The windows shook, the walls replied While Zarvakar slept with dragon pride [Melodic transition – rising guitars and drums] He left the gate and walked alone Searching for a place of his own The morning streets began to wake Until a window made him stop and wait Monsters and masks were standing there A store of shadows, masks and fear At last, a place that knew his name [Heavy build-up – guitars growing larger] He stepped inside the haunted store With monsters guarding the door He spread his wings, he showed his might He waited for the fear to rise A little child walked up to him And held a phone up with a grin “Can we take a selfie?” [Final massive guitar theme – volcanic drums, powerful melodic solo, epic ending, music continues after final vocal line and resolves naturally]
