About this song
Before the first flame ever burned. I am the Ur-Dragon.
Lyrics
(Verse 1) Before the first flame ever burned Before the planes were ever turned I opened eyes of ancient gold And watched a billion stories told From my throne beyond the veil I whisper to every scale My children feel me in their bones They answer when I call them home (Chorus) I am the Ur-Dragon The first and final wing Every dragon born of fire Is an echo when I sing They rise because I will it They soar because I reign I am the Ur-Dragon The beginning and the flame (Verse 2) Five colors flow within my veins I am the storm across all planes When my brood descends to war The battlefield gives so much more Every claw that strikes the ground Brings ancient power, wisdom found I need not leave my cosmic throne My presence makes their strength my own (Chorus) I am the Ur-Dragon The first and final wing Every dragon born of fire Is an echo when I sing They rise because I will it They soar because I reign I am the Ur-Dragon The beginning and the flame (Bridge) You cannot outrun what was here first You cannot slay the primal thirst For every wyrm that takes the sky Carries a piece of me inside Ten thousand wings beat as one Beneath the shadow I've become The multiverse bows to dragon-kind And dragon-kind bows to my mind (Final Chorus) I am the Ur-Dragon The alpha and the end When I descend from distant stars All worlds and armies bend My children fill the heavens My legacy takes flight I am the Ur-Dragon The origin of might (Outro) Before the first flame ever burned I am the Ur-Dragon
