[Intro]
[Verse 1]
Long before the gates were raised
Before the first watchfire blazed
I kept the sky from what would come
A spirit forged where storms are born
My shadow fell across the peaks
And where I flew, the mountains speak
They whisper still of what they saw
A dragon bound by ancient law
[Chorus]
Where one wing rises, two will soar
Every flame that falls brings one flame more
The sky grows dark with what I bring
A thousand echoes, each one king
No spell can reach me, no chain can hold
I am the sentinel, fierce and old
Watch the horizon fill with wings
And hear the doubled thunder ring
[Verse 2]
They crossed my threshold, one by one
Each wyrm that came beneath my sun
I breathed upon them, and they split
A twin of scale and claw and wit
Not copies, no -- reflections, real
With beating hearts and jaws of steel
The battlefield became a sky
Where every dragon learned to multiply
[Chorus]
Where one wing rises, two will soar
Every flame that falls brings one flame more
The sky grows dark with what I bring
A thousand echoes, each one king
No spell can reach me, no chain can hold
I am the sentinel, fierce and old
Watch the horizon fill with wings
And hear the doubled thunder ring
[Bridge]
Spirit and scale, I am both
Bound by a sentinel's oath
Guardian of the dragon's flame
Every twin will know my name
Strike at me, the ward holds fast
I was the first and I will last
[Outro]
One becomes two
Two becomes the storm
I am the echo
That will never fade
