Lyric

The bridge was black with falling ash and banners drowned in rain

My brothers fled behind my shield while iron storms closed in

I came to hold the final path and meet an honest end

An aging sword a failing breath no sunrise left for me

Then deep beneath my broken ribs a second thunder woke

The hidden ember I had carried since a distant field of fire

A dragon heart once given when I spared a dying wing

Now beat against the edge of death and called me back to life

The dragon heart still beats in me through grief and burning sky

I rose to die but now I rise to guard the living dawn

No grave can claim the vow I bear no darkness break my hand

From shattered age to crimson flame I stand and do not fall

O hear the weeping steel and stars they sing the road back home

I carry every fallen name and turn their tears to fire

The dragon heart still beats in me and makes the heavens cry

The enemy crossed the broken span and laughed to see me stand

They saw an old forgotten knight too wounded to remain

But when the fire beneath my chest became a storm of gold

The night itself was split apart by wings they could not name

I felt the dragon memory rise in every scar I wore

The roar of ancient mercy and the grief of kings undone

It taught me strength is not to die when all the world is ash

But live and keep the weakest light from vanishing in smoke

The dragon heart still beats in me through grief and falling stars

I rose to die but now I rise to lead the lost through dawn

No grave can claim the vow I bear no darkness break my hand

From shattered age to crimson flame I stand and do not fall

O hear the weeping steel and sky they sing the road back home

I carry every fallen name and turn their tears to fire

The dragon heart still beats in me and makes the heavens cry

If I must live where comrades died then let me live for them

Let every wound become a bell that calls the weak to hope

The beast I saved now saves my soul and teaches me to stay

Not for the glory of the end but for the dawn beyond

The dragon heart still beats in me now hear the mountains shake

I crossed the edge of death and found a fiercer way to live

No tyrant storm no iron horde can take the light I guard

I am the knight who came to die and stayed to shield the world

Let every fallen brother ride within the thunder of my chest

The dragon grief the human tears become one blazing sword

So when the dark returns again it finds me standing still

The dragon heart still beats in me and beats for all who live
