The ancient stories that old folk would tell
It was never a fable to begin with
As they have seen what the young have not
Clouds to make them frail and weak
Too old to remember a thing
Killings of a million men, women and children
Blood flows under the scales
Storm the skies above with dying angels
Lesser did ground dwellers know of the great peril
Blood flows under the scales
Hell above, not underneath, cautious where they tread
Now your time is up
Pieces of the puzzle match with the words
Another mythical fable revealed
A mythical beast was once entombed
Caravans point to a golden chasm
Water flows from above
Dragon heart...
Blood flows under the scales
Storm the skies above with dying angels
Lesser did ground dwellers know of the great peril...
It's too late to escape from the crutches
Of the wielder of conjured currency
Like fire to fire, savagely beating the beast
The clouds will soon reveal the ash in the sky
