[Verse 1]
Red sun on the river
Smoke curls from the war fires
Silk flags breathing on the wind
Steel hearts, quiet riders
Ink map on the table
Brush strokes mark the border
Old wine, one last bitter cup
Before we march to order
[Chorus]
Sing the legends of the Dragon
Names carved deep in stone
Dust returns to dust again
But the story finds a home
From mountain storms to burning plains
We rise, we fall, we’re gone
Still the elders by the lanterns
Whisper legends of the Dragon (hey!)
[Verse 2]
Moonlight on the armor
Each dent holds a lifetime
Your hand shakes, tying leather knots
You laugh and call it fine
Drums call from the courtyard
Horses bite the cold air
You bow once toward your father’s grave
Then ride and never dare stare
[Chorus]
Sing the legends of the Dragon
Names carved deep in stone
Dust returns to dust again
But the story finds a home
From mountain storms to burning plains
We rise, we fall, we’re gone
Still the elders by the lanterns
Whisper legends of the Dragon (oh-woah)
[Bridge]
If I fall by the river bend
Turn my face toward the dawn
Let the crane cry overhead
Carry my small name on
[Chorus]
Sing the legends of the Dragon
Names carved deep in stone
Dust returns to dust again
But the story finds a home
From mountain storms to burning plains
We rise, we fall, we’re gone
Still the elders by the lanterns
Whisper legends of the Dragon
They will whisper of the Dragon
