Lyrics (Verse 1) From ancient peaks, where shadows sleep, A legend whispers, secrets deep. Of scales of night and eyes of fire, A creature born of primal ire. He soared the skies, a titan's might, Bathed in the moon's ethereal light. But in his heart, a sorrow grew, A pain no mortal ever knew. (Chorus) Oh, Dragon's Tear, a crystal gleam, Reflecting a forgotten dream. A single drop, a universe, Of love and loss, a silent curse. It falls to earth, a molten plea, For peace that never came to be. The Dragon's Tear, a mournful sound, Where ancient magic can be found. (Verse 2) He guarded realms with watchful gaze, Through endless nights and sunlit days. He saw the rise and fall of kings, The fragile hope that freedom brings. But greed and war, a bitter blight, Extinguished all that once was bright. He fought for them, with all his soul, Yet watched his world begin to roll. (Chorus) Oh, Dragon's Tear, a crystal gleam, Reflecting a forgotten dream. A single drop, a universe, Of love and loss, a silent curse. It falls to earth, a molten plea, For peace that never came to be. The Dragon's Tear, a mournful sound, Where ancient magic can be found. (Bridge) The ages passed, the mountains bowed, His mighty roar, a fading cloud. He wept for all that was undone, For battles lost and victories won. And in that tear, a power lay, To heal the wounds of yesterday. A promise whispered on the breeze, To mend the broken, bring them ease. (Guitar Solo - Epic, Melodic, with a touch of melancholy) (Chorus) Oh, Dragon's Tear, a crystal gleam, Reflecting a forgotten dream. A single drop, a universe, Of love and loss, a silent curse. It falls to earth, a molten plea, For peace that never came to be. The Dragon's Tear, a mournful sound, Where ancient magic can be found. (Outro) The tear descends, a starlit spark, Illuminating the darkest dark. A legacy of strength and grace, Forever etched in time and space. Dragon's Tear... Dragon's Tear... Whispers of hope, banishing fear.
