dracon riders

Intro

The sky turns black when the drakes are loosed

The ground splits open beneath the hooves

No horn, no signal, no battle cry

Just the sound of the empire passing by

Verse 1

They bred us in the dark of the imperial pits

Fed us iron, taught us hits

The drake was chained until it learned to kill

Now it only eats when the order's willed

We don't bleed red, we bleed the throne

We don't fight fair, we fight alone

One command and the valley burns

One command and the tide returns

Pre-Chorus

building, brass and guitar layered

The empire speaks and we obey

The empire points and we decay

The enemy line is just a line

And we were built to break the spine

Chorus

Dracon Raiders, born of fire

The empire's fist, the empire's ire

No surrender, no retreat

Just the thunder of the drake's feet

Dracon Raiders, iron and flame

We don't remember your name

We just remember where you stood

And we burned the whole damn wood

Verse 2

The first rank fell without a sound

The second rank just hit the ground

The third rank turned and tried to run

The drakes already had their fun

We don't chase, we don't spare

We just fill the open air

With the screaming of the broken line

And the empire's perfect design

Pre-Chorus

drums intensify, vocals shred

The empire speaks and we obey

The empire points and we decay

The enemy line is just a line

And we were built to break the spine

Chorus

Dracon Raiders, born of fire

The empire's fist, the empire's ire

No surrender, no retreat

Just the thunder of the drake's feet

Dracon Raiders, iron and flame

We don't remember your name

We just remember where you stood

And we burned the whole damn wood

Bridge

They don't sing songs about us

They don't carve our names in stone

They just count the empty fields

And call the empire home

We are not heroes, we are not men

We are the order, again and again

The drake is hungry, the rider's cold

The empire's story never gets old

(Final Chorus)

DRACON RAIDERS, BORN OF FIRE

THE EMPIRE'S FIST, THE EMPIRE'S IRE

NO SURRENDER, NO RETREAT

JUST THE THUNDER OF THE DRAKE'S FEET

DRACON RAIDERS, IRON AND FLAME

WE DON'T REMEMBER YOUR NAME

WE JUST REMEMBER WHERE YOU STOOD

AND WE BURNED THE WHOLE DAMN WOOD

Outro

The valley's quiet now.

The empire moves on.

The drakes are fed.

The riders are gone.
