Crown of the Scorched Earth

## **[Intro — Ritual]**

*Desert wind... distant drums...*

### **[Verse]**

Three relics beneath the burning sun...
Three trials before the journey's done...

The sun is a blade against my skin,
The dunes are calling, the hunt begins.
Lightning tears through the blackened sky,
Something beneath the sand opens its eyes.

Rock elemental turns to flesh—
The giants awake!
Thorny Dragons strike!
The desert will take!

### **[Chorus]**

SCORCHED EARTH!
Underneath the eye of Ark!
SCORCHED EARTH!
We walk where the dead gods are!

Crag! Gatekeeper! Destroyer!
Three artifacts beneath the Sand!
Through sand and storm,
Through sand and Heart—
**We carve our names into this land!**

### **[Wyvern Trench]**

Down into the canyon,
Where the burning dragons fly.
Lightning tears the heavens,
Poison burns my eyes.

Fire egg!
Poison egg!
Take them and RUN!

An Alpha Wyvern rises from the flames—
**Its roar becomes the sun!**

### **[Breakdown]**

**HEART OF WAR!**
**GODS OF SAND!**
**RAISE YOUR BLADES!**
**CLIMB HIGHER!**

### **[Final Battle]**

The sky turns dark!
Everything becomes quiet!
The Alpha Manticore descends,
Its shadow covers all.
Its sting becomes the storm,
Its wings make mountains fall.

But we stand beneath the burning sky—

NO RETREAT!
NO SURRENDER!

We will not fall!

*Massive Egyptian choir + guitars*


The beast crashes into the sand.

Silence.

Then the drums begin again.

**We survived the Scorched Earth.**
