Dragon Heart Reborn

Lyrics

[Intro - low industrial rumble, glitch static, ominous strings swelling, distant distorted breaths]
In the ash of the empire, I hear my name
Buried in iron, baptized in flame
A pulse in the ruin, a spark in the bone
Something ancient is waking alone

[Verse 1 - crushing downtuned guitars, mechanical drums, eerie synth pulses, harsh whispered vocals]
I walked through the blackout, through the blackened rain
With a crown of fractures and a spine of chain
Every mirror cracked when I met my eyes
Saw a beast in the embers, a god in disguise
The world tried to bury what it couldn’t cage
Lock the heart in a cage, lock the fire in a rage
But beneath all the scars and the static decay
There’s a dragon still breathing under my skin today

[Pre-Chorus - rising tension, layered gang vocals, distorted strings, glitch stutters]
Hear the thunder in my chest
Feel the furnace under flesh
I was broken, I was bound
Now the roots come tearing out

[Chorus - explosive full band, massive synths, screamed gang vocals, anthemic hook]
My dragon heart is reborn
Burning through the cold and the storm
From the wreckage, from the dead
I rise with a crown of red
My dragon heart is reborn
Ripping through the night I was sworn
No more silence, no more chains
I am fire in the veins

[Verse 2 - syncopated industrial groove, glitchy percussion, sinister low synths, venomous vocal delivery]
They built me a temple out of broken steel
Taught me how to kneel, taught me not to feel
But the deeper they cut, the brighter I burned
Every wound was a lesson, every loss was earned
I tasted the poison, I swallowed the fear
Fed it to the shadows till the shadows disappeared
Now I’m carving my name on the bones of the dark
With a strike of the claw and a spark in the heart

[Pre-Chorus - escalating, heavier drums, screaming harmonies, filter sweeps]
Hear the thunder in my chest
Feel the furnace under flesh
I was broken, I was bound
Now the roots come tearing out

[Chorus - even bigger, layered screams, soaring synth lead, brutal guitars]
My dragon heart is reborn
Burning through the cold and the storm
From the wreckage, from the dead
I rise with a crown of red
My dragon heart is reborn
Ripping through the night I was sworn
No more silence, no more chains
I am fire in the veins

[Bridge - stripped-down half-time pulse, eerie choir pads, clean-to-shouted vocal rise, glitch breakdown]
If I fall, I fall in flame
If I break, I break the chains
Call my name through smoke and bone
I was never meant to be stone
I was forged in the scream of the end
Now I come back again and again

[Breakdown - brutal drop, distorted bass, machine-gun drums, chopped vocal samples, screamed refrains]
Reborn!
Red eyes, black sky
Reborn!
Ash to the sky
Reborn!
No more dying
Reborn!
I am rising

[Final Chorus - maximal intensity, stacked gang vocals, soaring synths, thunderous guitars, final scream]
My dragon heart is reborn
Burning through the cold and the storm
From the wreckage, from the dead
I rise with a crown of red
My dragon heart is reborn
Ripping through the night I was sworn
No more silence, no more chains
I am fire in the veins

[Outro - decaying industrial noise, distant strings, echoing whispered vocals, fading embers]
In the ash of the empire, I hear my name
Dragon heart burning, never the same
When the dark comes calling, I will remain
A living fire in the rain...
