(Note: "Tailbeast" is the Draak-Kin term for "Snake".) (Author's note: I like snakes. It's just a song.) [Verse] Cold demons descend from the shattered sky, Star-born, metal beasts, invading my world. Their shadows stretch wide across burning Earth, As they destroy all that I know! [Verse] Once the hunter, now I'm tracked. Once the prowler, now I'm prey. This trembling, a strange new reality. Is this the taste of terror? [Pre-chorus] Will this be the end of all Draak-Kin? Will our fire become ashes? [Verse] The Great Giver, father of light, Takes pity on my desperation. His wordless song floods my mind, Promising life – if I give up all I am! [Verse] From sky’s grandeur to crawling in dirt. Trading feathered crown for oblivion. Losing my dominion and my birthright. This mercy might as well be death! [Pre-chorus] Will this be the end of all Draak-Kin? Will our fire become ashes? [Guitar Solo] [Chorus] How could I live without... The winds that lift my soul to the sky? How could I endure without... The warrior spirit in my heart? How could I sacrifice... Everything that makes me Draak-Kin? How could I ever live as a Tailbeast? [Guitar Solo] [Bridge] My heartbeat is now a countdown to the end. My legacy, dependent on this choice. The Sun’s light beckons, a promise or a curse? Does it take more courage To stand and die with honor Or to accept humility? [Chorus] How could a Draak live without... The song of flames in our breath? How could a Draak endure without... The pride of Sun and Earth’s firstborn? How could we sacrifice... Everything that makes us Draak-Kin? How could we ever live as a Tailbeast? [Outro] Do I choose to live? Do I choose to die? Or are they both the same?
