[Instrumental Intro]
[Verse 1]
Long ago, a child was born
The second son of dragonsworn
The world was torn, a time of
Plots and schemes, disputed rule
Strategic pacts as tensions rose
The conflict grows, his time will come
[Pre-Chorus]
Imprisoned with his brother
His hatred has been uncovered
Never surrender
[Chorus]
Marching on, weapons drawn
Come the dawn
Assail them, impale them
Bring them to their knees
Dragon’s son, see it done
Overrun
Decapitation, annihilation
Will bring them down in flames
[Verse 2]
Secure the throne, to rule alone
The traitors must be overthrown
He will be known as
The Impaler of the enemy force
Exact his revenge without remorse
There's no recourse, his time has come
[Pre-Chorus]
Protector of the border
The guardian of the order
Never surrender
[Chorus]
Marching on, weapons drawn
Come the dawn
Assail them, impale them
Bring them to their knees
Dragon’s son, see it done
Overrun
Decapitation, annihilation
Will bring them down in flames
[Guitar Solo]
[Pre-Chorus]
Imprisoned with his brother
His hatred has been uncovered
Never surrender
[Chorus]
Marching on, weapons drawn
Come the dawn
Assail them, impale them
Bring them to their knees
Dragon’s son, see it done
Overrun
Decapitation, annihilation
Will bring them down in flames
