Lyrics
Intro
Once.
I walked among you.
Appeared as one of you.
Whispering lies in your young king's ears.
And as I strolled your sullen streets.
And sipped your wine.
And meddled in your "politics."
You NEVER suspected the scales
beneath the silk and borrowed skin.
The furnace burning behind these cold eyes.
And now, as I slumber in my lair.
You come for the head that rests upon your pilfered treasures.
Verse
I listened to your voices
Sat in your gilded halls
Fed you careful choices
While weakening your walls
You called it fate
I called it a game
Igniting your hate
while shifting the blame
I learned your little language
Silver, steel, and pride
You bickered over banners
Your bonds became untied
You praised my โwisdomโ
Drank up my lies
As your kingdom
Became my prize.
Chorus
Still you come for the head of the dragon
Your demise I will not postpone
Stand in the fire for treasure and trinkets
Die and return to the bone
Then again and again you awaken
Bleeding down the path that you tread
Cursing my rage as you rush into shadow
Always back
For my hoard
And my head
Verse
I know your scent in seconds
Copper, sweat, and fear
You chant your crude devotions
That your gods will never hear
You fracture like broken glass
Scatter and reappear
A river of corpses amass
As midnight draws near
You brand me as the monster
Then break on my blackened wing
Call this a righteous venture
I call it an offering
Your healers howl
Your warriors scream
I burn your flesh
You chase a broken dream
Chorus
Still you come for the head of the dragon
Your demise I will not postpone
Stand in the fire for treasure and trinkets
Die and return to the bone
Then again and again you awaken
Bleeding down the path that you tread
Cursing my rage as you rush into shadow
Always back
For my hoard
And my head
Bridge
Do I sense growing frustration?
Do you truly wish for death?
If you need a demonstration
run as I take a deep breath
What God keeps you returning
Shoved from some distant gate?
Does it amuse them watching
you circle the same old fate?
You never seem to tire
drawn like moths to the flame
You choose to face the fire
but never forget my name:
Onyxia
Onyxia.
Onyxia!
ONYXIA!!!!
Chorus
Still you come for the head of the dragon
Your demise I will not postpone
Stand in the fire for treasure and trinkets
Die and return to the bone
Then again and again you awaken
Bleeding down the path that you tread
Cursing my rage as you rush into shadow
Always back
For my hoard
And my head
Outro
You think this time is different
You swear this time I fall
Yet I remain
In smoke and scale
And you return
Only to crawl
