Dragon Lyrics by Defender

They Came over the High Pass

0

At dawn I rise, into the sky
The mightiest of all now flies
Lord of lords, king of kings
I whip the air with leathered wings
An ancient hated enemy
A roaring, burning entity
Silhouette against the moon
Bringer of both death and doom
A spark upon the starlit sky
A giant killer fire-fly
Forests burn and mountains crack
As I sweep down for the attack
I am the one who cannot die
Invulnerable as I fly
In panic-stricken fear you ride
My breath upon your back, you die
Ashes, death and smouldering fields
Is what I leave behind
I’ll plague your world eternally
The last one of my kind
I ride the wind above your land
Enthroned atop the mountain
Eternal horror unto man
My breath a fire fountain
For I am the dragon
I’ve grown since time’s begun
Yes I am the dragon
Sole survivor from aeons long gone
Fast asleep inside my den
Deep beneath the dark mountain
I take my rest to return again
Always alive in the minds of men
Patient as the rock I wait
To take to the skies and seal your fate
Inside my mind eternal hate
A hunger that won’t satiate
And as I fly, the word will spread
That once again I’ve left my bed
A bed of silver, gems and gold
But now it’s time, lo, behold!
I devastate in mindless rage
Your valley now a prison cage
You cannot flee, you’re much too slow
In my wake, only embers glow
Blackened bones and ashen shields
Cover the smouldering fields
Melting metal in streams connected
Fallen men by flame dissected
Sunset taunting dying eyes
Smell of death and buzz of flies
I rise into the starlit night
And speed away in roaring flight
Fly!
