On the mountains of stone they all claim to know
Of a magical power eternal
To defeat all these violent hordes
When our magical powers are fading
A breaker of hearts, a cease to the war
A face full of teeth and his lair full of bones
And his breath can burn us alive
In a magic light
I will claim the dragonsteed
A hero will come when they call
On swift wind he will ride
When the battle burns us in the crimson sky
He is black and cold as ice
With a horse that's not afraid of flames
Cruising through the fire, rain, and ice
On the dragonsteed he rides
In his cave full of gold, the sole king will rule
This ferocious beast he is living
He is guarding the secrets within
The most powerful weapon you'll find
The wizard of light, he's making a plan
Summoning all of his witches at hand
To kill this powerful beast
With a magic spell
I will claim the dragonsteed
A hero will come when they call
On swift wind he will ride
When the battle burns us in the crimson sky
He is black and cold as ice
With a horse that's not afraid of flames
Cruising through the fire, rain, and ice
On the dragonsteed he rides
Ride, hiding your sorrow
For the horror is yet to come here
On swift wind he will ride
When the battle burns us in the crimson sky
He is black and cold as ice
With a horse that's not afraid of flames
Cruising through the fire, rain, and ice
On the dragonsteed he rides
On swift wind he will ride
When the battle burns us in the crimson sky
He is black and cold as ice
With a horse that's not afraid of flames
Cruising through the fire, rain, and ice
On the dragonsteed he rides
