Dragon Lyrics
King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard
Lyrics
PetroDragonic Apocalypse
PetroDragonic Apocalypse
Flapping wings weaving through crocodile obsolete
Flattened raze, spraying flames
Blood curdle screech
Dragon, dragon, dragon, dragon
Dragon, dragon, dragon, dragon
Gila is the aether, quintessence and preacher
Aura drinker, spirit shrinker
The one true God
Vile smile, 'mental yolks
Nymphs, sylphs and pygmy's choke
Drink the blood, tasting Tchort
What hath God wrought?
Dragon, dragon, dragon, dragon
Dragon, dragon, dragon, dragon
PetroDragonic Apocalypse
PetroDragonic Apocalypse
PetroDragonic Apocalypse
PetroDragonic Apocalypse
Winged demon on the stratosphere is swooping beneath to kill with fear
Stop the dragon, dragon, dragon, dragon
Stop the dragon, dragon, dragon
Scrambling jets and ballistic lies burned underneath the lidless eyes
Stop the dragon, dragon, dragon, dragon
Stop the dragon, dragon, dragon, dragon
Atomic space chaos, it reeks, pilots shriek, cities weep
Stop the dragon, dragon, dragon, dragon
Stop the dragon, dragon, dragon, dragon
Dragon, dragon, dragon, dragon, dragon
Stop the dragon
The eye dilates, the air gyrates
A gate in the sky, a portal to die
A shriek from space, a mangled yell
Dragon descends, welcome to hell
Audi mea verba, o ignis draconis
Ex cineribus orior altius atque altius
Alis patentibus, lumine micante
Draco hic apparere debet in loco subter
The eye dilates, the air gyrates
A gate in the sky, a portal to die
A shriek from space, a mangled yell
Dragon descends, welcome to hell
Ex profunditate antiquae doctrinae
Ad caelos supra semper
Hoc incantamentum evoco, draco apparet
Incantamentum iam transactum est
A creature born of the tempest
The thrill of the hunt
The thrill of the quest
A wild being of chaos and fire
Knowing naught but its own desire
To taste fear in the game's eyes
To claim its victory, to claim its prize
Killing all in its path, nay mercy shown
Until the dragon stands triumphantly high-lone
Dawn of eternal night
Dawn of eternal night
Dawn of eternal night
Dawn of eternal night
Terra firma, Earth murdered in the blink of an eye
Malevolent, equivalent, diabolify
Bending storms beneath its will
Firelight troglodyte
Dawn of eternal night
Demonic bird reptilian desert fetid breath
Sapien spite and fatal bite with a foul gas stench
Isaiah's come to claim the throne, the dragon's birthright
Dawn of eternal night
The beast we awoke hath been untamed
Eyes of fireth and wings of a flame
It hath arisen from chariest lair
Spreading its wings and taking to the air
Yeah
Song & Lyrics Facts
Dragon is a 10-minute metal epic by King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard, released as a single on June 6, 2023. It is the sixth track on their upcoming album PetroDragonic Apocalypse; or, Dawn of Eternal Night: An Annihilation of Planet Earth and the Beginning of Merciless Damnation, which will be out on June 16 via the band's own label KGLW.
The song is a dark and twisted tale of a winged demon that descends from the sky and wreaks havoc on humanity, bringing about the end of the world. The lyrics are full of imagery and references to mythology, religion, and occultism, such as gila monsters, Tchort, Isaiah, and incantations in Latin. The song also features a guest appearance by Hatebreed's Jamey Jasta, who provides some backing vocals on the chorus. The main messages in the lyrics are that humans have unleashed a force of nature that they cannot control or stop, that the dragon represents the ultimate evil and chaos that will consume everything in its path, and that there is no hope or salvation for anyone in the face of this apocalyptic scenario. The song is a bleak and nihilistic vision of the future, but also a thrilling and adventurous ride for metal fans who enjoy King Gizzard's genre-bending and experimental style.
