Honorable Scales Of Pain

I bear the ancient shell of flame
Forged in blood, I speak its name
Armor breathing, crushing weight
A burden sealed by dragon fate

Essence burns through mortal veins
Glory wrapped in endless chains

Clad in scales that sear my soul
I carry what I can't control
Bound to honor, bound to pain
Upon a throne, I can't reclaim
With fire, I fall, with wings I break
A sacrifice I chose to make

Through this shell, the fury screams
Crushing bone, devouring dreams
I breathe the flame that eats me whole
Mortal flesh, a dragon's toll

Ancient power, bleeding through
This sacred curse I answer to

Clad in scales that sear my soul
I carry what I can't control
Bound to honor, bound to pain
Upon a throne, I can't reclaim
With fire, I fall, with wings I break
A sacrifice I chose to make

Not by choice but by the weight
Man and beast, I consecrate
Through this armor I descend
Where the mortal and legend blend

Each strike, a hollow vow
Each step, a fading name
The throne of agony
Burns with ancestral honor unclaimed

Clad in scales that crack my soul
I bear the weight I can't control
Shackled to honor, drowned in flame
Upon a throne that has no name
With fire, I die, with wings I weep
This legacy too dark to keep

Dragon's armor, dragon's curse
I am bound to something worse
Forever worn, never free! (Slowly)
