Scales of Burning Gold

Instrumental Intro

Verse 1

Ash on my tongue when I woke

The mountain was screaming below

Six hundred winters of ice

Melted to rivers of gold

My father forged me a blade

Bound it with iron and bone

He told me the wyrms never sleep

They only wait patient and cold

Pre-Chorus

And the horn sounds low

And the valley burns

And the horn sounds low

Chorus

Dragonfire in the dark

Rising up to tear the sky apart

Dragonfire in the dark

Every scale a burning scar

(I see the fire)

(I see the fire)

Verse 2

I climbed where no climber returns

Past the ribs of the fallen and brave

My sister's voice carried the wind

Calling me home from the grave

The beast turned its ancient regard

Eyes like two furnaces wide

It knew every name that I held

And smiled at the fear I denied

Pre-Chorus

And the horn sounds low

And the valley burns

And the horn sounds low

Chorus

Dragonfire in the dark

Rising up to tear the sky apart

Dragonfire in the dark

Every scale a burning scar

(I see the fire)

(I see the fire)

Guitar Solo

Bridge

We are the last of the flame

We are the last of the flame

Sing me your ruin

Sing me your ruin

Sing me your ruin

Breakdown

Rise rise rise

From the cinder

Rise rise rise

From the cinder

Chorus

Dragonfire in the dark

Rising up to tear the sky apart

Dragonfire in the dark

Every scale a burning scar

(I see the fire)

(I see the fire)

Outro

Burn with me

Burn with me
