SONG LYRICS: 🗡️🐉✨ RAVENSTAR - “THE DRAGON OF JADE MOON” Beyond the Jade Mountains, where the silver rivers flow, There lies a hidden kingdom where the ancient dragons go. A thousand years of silence, beneath the crimson moon, Until the Dragon of the Jade Moon awakens far too soon. He came from the northern valleys, With a sword across his back, A wanderer without a kingdom, Following an ancient track. She stood beside the Lotus Gate, In robes of midnight blue, Princess of the Moonlit Kingdom, With eyes that pierced straight through. She whispered, “Stranger, turn away, The road ahead is cursed.” He answered, “Then I'll walk it, Before the darkness reaches you first.” And beneath the falling blossoms, Their hands touched in the rain. Two hearts that should have never met Were calling out again. RIDE INTO THE DRAGON'S FIRE! ACROSS THE MOUNTAINS, HIGHER AND HIGHER! WITH JADE AND STEEL IN OUR HANDS, WE'LL CROSS THE FORBIDDEN LANDS! CALL THE DRAGON FROM THE SKY! LET THE GOLDEN PHOENIX FLY! IF THE WHOLE WORLD TURNS TO FLAME, I WILL CROSS THE STARS FOR YOU AGAIN! They journeyed through the Valley of Ghosts, Where moonflowers bloom at night, Past temples carved in emerald stone, Where spirits guarded light. Across the Sea of Floating Clouds, They rode the crimson wind, While seven dragons circled them And ancient bells began to ring. But far beyond the mountains The Shadow Emperor rose, With an army forged from darkness And an army without souls. He held her close beneath the stars, As thunder shook the sky. “If tomorrow takes my life, Promise me you won't cry.” She kissed him underneath the moon. “I'll follow where you fly.” RIDE INTO THE DRAGON'S FIRE! ACROSS THE MOUNTAINS, HIGHER AND HIGHER! WITH JADE AND STEEL IN OUR HANDS, WE'LL CROSS THE FORBIDDEN LANDS! CALL THE DRAGON FROM THE SKY! LET THE GOLDEN PHOENIX FLY! IF THE WHOLE WORLD TURNS TO FLAME, I WILL CROSS THE STARS FOR YOU AGAIN! At the Gate of Ten Thousand Suns They faced the final war. The Shadow Emperor raised his blade And darkness filled the floor. Then she took his trembling hand: “Whatever waits beyond, We have already crossed the world. Our hearts have made us strong.” The Jade Dragon opened its eyes Above the burning gate. And from the heavens came a voice: “Love shall decide your fate.” One heart... One blade... One final stand... The dragon spread its wings Across the land! RIDE INTO THE DRAGON'S FIRE! ACROSS THE MOUNTAINS, HIGHER AND HIGHER! WITH JADE AND STEEL IN OUR HANDS, WE'LL DEFEND THESE FORBIDDEN LANDS! CALL THE DRAGON FROM THE SKY! LET THE GOLDEN PHOENIX FLY! EVEN IF THE HEAVENS FALL, I WILL NEVER LET YOU FALL! RIDE! RIDE! THROUGH THE FIRE AND THE STORM! RISE! RISE! LET THE ANCIENT DRAGON SOAR! AND IF THE STARS SHOULD LOSE THEIR LIGHT, I'LL FIND YOU IN THE ENDLESS NIGHT! DRAGON OF THE JADE MOON! FLY ABOVE THE MOUNTAINS! DRAGON OF THE JADE MOON! AWAKEN ALL THE KINGDOMS! TWO HEARTS BECAME ONE... BENEATH THE ANCIENT SUN... And their legend Lives forever! Beyond the Jade Mountains... Where the silver rivers flow... Two lovers ride together... Where only dragons know... -
