The Ancient Red Dragon returns — and she has lost count of the heroes she has burned. 🔥 This is the ultimate melodic metalcore anthem for the most feared monster in D&D: tight downtuned djent riffs and relentless double kick collide with sweeping cinematic orchestral strings, while feral harsh screams erupt into soaring clean choruses — raw draconic arrogance given a voice. ⚔️ In D&D lore, the ancient red dragon is the apex tyrant of the mountains: vain, cunning, and utterly merciless, sleeping on a hoard built from the kingdoms she has razed. This song captures the moment the next "chosen one" climbs her mountain... and learns why she stopped counting. 🐉

LYRICS:
Smoke on the wind — I taste your fear
Another blade-song crawling near
Climb
little heroes
climb and pray
Prayers burn faster anyway
The mountain shivers when I wake
One single breath is all it takes
I was ancient when your gods were young
My name too heavy for your tongue
I have watched a hundred banners rise
And burned them black against the skies
Your grandsires' grandsires knew this flame
Their ashes scattered just the same
Empires knelt and empires fell
I lit their thrones and wished them well
Every ember was a name
Every name ends in my flame
I am Countless — count the slain!
A thousand swords could not restrain
Fire falls and heavens break
Kingdoms crumble in my wake
I am Countless — hear the roar
Of every war I have won before
Scales unbroken
wrath divine
Every crown you've worn is mine
Another chosen one — how sweet
A dozen rot beneath my feet
Recite your vow
unsheathe your blade
The dead were just as unafraid
Your armor gleams
your banner flies
I see the terror in your eyes
The seer swore you'd end my reign
The last one swore it too — in vain
Every ember was a name
Every name ends in my flame
I am Countless — count the slain!
A thousand swords could not restrain
Fire falls and heavens break
Kingdoms crumble in my wake
I am Countless — hear the roar
Of every war I have won before
Scales unbroken
wrath divine
Every crown you've worn is mine
Beg! Like the thousand before you!
Bleed! Like the thousand before you!
Burn! No one is coming to save you!
Kneel! No one is left to avenge you!
I used to count them
long ago
A claw-mark carved for every foe
But stone ran out
the names all blurred
Now Countless is the only word
So sing of me in halls of men
And send your bravest once again
I am Countless — count the slain!
A thousand swords could not restrain
Fire falls and heavens break
Kingdoms crumble in my wake
I am Countless — hear the roar
Of every war I have won before
Scales unbroken
wrath divine
Every crown you've worn is mine
Every crown you've worn is mine!
Climb
little heroes
climb and pray
Prayers burn faster anyway
