Lyrics
[Verse 1]
In the court of the dragon
Death of gods and world
In the court of the dragon
You will know your worth
[Verse 2]
Hammer clenched
Open mouth
Living 'neath the tides of pain
Surely any man would drown
[Verse 3]
Horrid king
Cries unheard
Bathed in blood
You'll get what you deserved
[Verse 4]
Burning home
Only child
Hidden from the deadly ones
Hunted far but never found
[Verse 5]
Nightmare past
Haunting him
Bides his time
Sinks into the sea
[Verse 6]
In the court of the dragon
Death of gods and world
In the court of the dragon
You will know your worth
[Verse 7]
Final clash
Beast and man
Rising from the violent waves
With a bloodied head in hand
[Verse 8]
Open mouth
Swallowing the king
Gods devoured whole
Light extinguishing
[Verse 9]
No more
Will the sun look down to illuminate the world
[Verse 10]
In spite of all the hate behind these eyes
I've seen that only one of us survives
I'm here to destroy you
I'm here to avenge
In the court of the dragon I descend
[Verse 11]
The stars have died and the heavens go up in flames
Earth
Sinks
The stars have died and the heavens go up in flames
[Verse 12]
Earth
Sinks
The stars have died and the heavens go up in flames
[Verse 13]
Earth
Sinks
The stars have died and the heavens go up in flames

[Verse 14]
In spite of all the hate behind these eyes
I've seen that only one of us survives
I'm here to destroy you
I'm here to avenge
In the court of the dragon I descend
[Verse 15]
In spite of all the hate behind these eyes
I've seen that only one of us survives
I'm here to destroy you
I'm here to avenge
In the court of the dragon I descend
[Verse 16]
In the court of the dragon
Death of gods and world
In the court of the dragon
You will know your worth
