[Verse 1]
The metallic scrape of newborn wings — a cold, chrome rasp on the night
The tang of smoke on my tongue, heat blooming under skin so tight
Streetlamps bend like witness lights, old blueprints curl to ash
A heartbeat learns the thunderbeat, a small life casts a larger dash
[Pre-Chorus]
Something pulls like gravity reversed
A stubborn sky that tugs the curse
I taste the iron of a coming storm
I keep my fist clenched for what’s about to form
[Chorus]
Born half-dragon — watch me fly
Sky on fire, cut the night
Breath like thunder, heart like flame
I will never be the same
Born half-dragon — this is mine
Wings that carve the ragged line
Freedom’s echo, fierce and high
Born half-dragon — watch me fly
[Verse 2]
Scales harden where my doubts used to be, a mirror for streetlight glints
City roofs learn the echo of my name — the world reprints
Old excuses fall like chimney soot, maps burn and doors swing wide
I trade the quiet for the howl, the tether snaps, the skyline sighs
[Pre-Chorus]
No more maps to tell me where to stand
Only stars and scorched-up land
I feel the cost beneath the roar
Something holy turned me into more
[Chorus]
Born half-dragon — watch me fly
Sky on fire, cut the night
Breath like thunder, heart like flame
I will never be the same
Born half-dragon — this is mine
Wings that carve the ragged line
Freedom’s echo, fierce and high
Born half-dragon — watch me fly
[Bridge — Turning Point]
But there’s a hollow where a hearth once glowed
Lonely chairs, small hands I used to hold
To fly means leaving warmth behind, to guard the sky means learn the cost
I could burn the things I love by chance — protect or lose, the lines are crossed
So I learn to temper wildfire with a promise on my tongue
To keep my fury from the innocent, to make my thunder keep them young
[Guitar Solo]
(Soaring, melodic lead that asks a question, then answers — builds into the final cry)
[Final Chorus — Bigger, Sharper]
Born half-dragon — watch me fly
Sky on fire, cut the night
Breath like thunder, heart like flame
I will never be the same
Born half-dragon — I take flight
Wings that split the black from light
Freedom forged in ash and fight
Born half-dragon — watch me fly
[Outro]
The embers spell my name across the dawn
I leave a trail of starlit scars, then on and on
Half-dragon heartbeat, heavy and alive
I claim the sky — and I survive
[Production Notes]
- Groove: driving rock at ~110–120 BPM. Keep the verses tight and syncopated; open up on choruses.
- Chorus texture: gritty, palm-muted rhythm guitar under the first vocal line; cut to wide, overdriven chords on the 2nd and 3rd lines for lift.
- Add a punchy drum fill into the Bridge (simple snare-tom build) to announce vulnerability turning into resolve.
- Guitar solo: soar with a delayed, singing lead (use a minor pentatonic/major-hybrid run), then bend into the final chorus.
- Outro: soaring lead guitar harmony over sustained chords; end on a ringing high note and a single distorted echo.
