REDHOP - Fly Little Flame [Official Audio]

A cinematic dark-fantasy song about a mother and the dragon she gave birth to. Born from an extraordinary bond, the dragon grows beside his human mother, loved and protected from a world that would never understand what he is. When their secret is discovered, she sacrifices herself to give her child a chance to escape. But her death leaves the dragon with a grief too powerful to contain. His cry becomes a thunderous roar heard across the world, his eyes burning red as love, loss, and fury become one. This is a story of a mother’s love, a child’s grief, sacrifice, and the darkness that follows when something precious is taken away. 🎵 Lyrics [Verse 1] You came to me warm in a blanket of rain, Small as my hands, with a coal for a heart. I fed you by candle and sang you to sleep, While the village kept watch from the dark. You learned every word that I whispered at night, You curled by the stove when the winter wind blew. When a stranger found scales under your sleeve, You bared your young fangs to defend me. [Pre-Chorus] I caught your face between both of my hands, And swallowed the fear I could not understand. [Chorus] Fly, little flame, beyond the hills, Far from the hands that would make you kneel. If love is the one thing I leave you to keep, Carry it farther than I can reach. Fly, little flame, don’t turn around— I’ll hold their anger here on the ground. [Verse 2] They bound me in iron and called you a beast, Though you once fell asleep to the beat of my chest. I gave them no road, no cave, and no name; I kept your small secret through every test. The morning they led me beneath the bare tree, I searched through the crowd for the child I had raised. I hoped you were high where the cold clouds begin, And prayed you would never look down. [Pre-Chorus] I held my last breath as the silence drew near, Still wishing your wings had carried you clear. [Chorus] Fly, little flame, beyond the hills, Far from the hands that would make you kneel. If love is the one thing I leave you to keep, Carry it farther than I can reach. Fly, little flame, don’t turn around— I’ll hold their anger here on the ground. [Bridge] Then the sky broke open with your cry, A thunder that shook every door. Across every field, across every sea, Humanity heard you roar. Your eyes burned red where the grief took hold, Your wings filled the daylight with ash. But deep in the fury, beneath all the flame, You were still my child calling my name. [Final Chorus] Fly, little flame, though I’m gone from your side, The love that I gave you is still alive. Let every heart hear the sound you became, Let the whole world remember my name. Fly, little flame—now the skies answer you; Your grief is a storm, but my love made it through. [Outro] Little one, fly… I’m still with you. REDHOP: Songs That Say What Others Won't.
