About this song
Twenty thousand years of scheming. The Elder Dragon War. The corruption of Amonkhet. The War of the Spark. Nicol Bolas played the longest game in the multiverse - and even in defeat, he refuses to be forgotten.
Lyrics
[Intro] [Verse 1] Twenty thousand years I've walked between the worlds Watched empires rise and crumble into dust My brother spoke of planes beyond our own And in my rage, the spark became my throne I broke the Elder Dragons one by one Ruled half a world before my work was done But Dominaria was just the start A single kingdom for a boundless heart [Pre-Chorus] They thought the Mending made me small They thought a god could truly fall [Chorus] I am the dragon at the center of it all I am the mind behind the rise before the fall Amonkhet built my army from the worthy dead Ravnica will bow before me, kneel or lose your head I am Nicol Bolas, the Dragon-God The ancient wound, the iron rod Every spark will feed my flame Until the multiverse knows my name [Verse 2] I turned a paradise into a tomb Where children train to meet their glorious doom The Eternals march in lazotep and gold An army of the dead that does what it is told I stole the portal, claimed the Immortal Sun Trapped every planeswalker, nowhere left to run The Elderspell will harvest what you are And I'll consume the essence of every stolen spark [Pre-Chorus] You sent your Gatewatch, sent your best I've buried gods, I'll bury the rest [Chorus] I am the dragon at the center of it all I am the mind behind the rise before the fall Amonkhet built my army from the worthy dead Ravnica will bow before me, kneel or lose your head I am Nicol Bolas, the Dragon-God The ancient wound, the iron rod Every spark will feed my flame Until the multiverse knows my name [Bridge] But even gods can bleed Even dragons meet their end Bontu's teeth found purchase And my brother watched me bend They stripped away my titles Took my names, took my spark Now I'm trapped with Ugin watching Fading in the dark [Final Chorus] I was the dragon at the center of it all I was the mind behind the rise before the fall Twenty thousand years of scheming, turned to ash But even in this prison, I am not yet past I am Nicol Bolas... was the Dragon-God The ancient wound, the broken rod And when eternity grows cold Remember who refused to fold [Outro] I will wait... I will remember...
