Lyrics[]
| There was a time before, when we were still... Afraid of the dark Then came the first spark, a fiery birth... |
| It totally rocked Sentinels crashing down, out of the blue... Creating a kingdom of red hue |
| Now there's only few... These sleeping Gods of tremendous power... Can cause a new kingdom to flower... |
| So burn as bright as the Sun My fiery one If light starts to dim Awaken again |
| The slumbering ones... |
Original Lyrics[]
A very early pre demo of the song was released and preformed by its writer Andy Ristaino. This version of the song never aired and hasn't been included in any soundtrack releases: almost none of this version of the song made it to the final version sung by Flame Princess, only the overall concept.[2]
| There was a time before, before the first spark. Afraid of the dark When the gods fought and roared and coughed. |
| Ancient battles, fiery birth from rock. It begins, a kindling in the dark. Sleeping gods. |
| Tremendous power. Remaining only few in number. If the kingdom dims to embers, |
| If the flames burn low… Awaken the slumbering ones my child Awaken great fire and rebirth Bring forth the dawning of a new red age |
| Awaken the slumbering ones my child. |
Trivia[]
- This is Flame Princess' first song, and the only one that is sung instead of rapped.
- At first, the song was supposed to be more of an ancient dwarven folk song, but the song ended up being too long and the tone wasn't correct for the episode.[2]
- The end part of this song also appeared in the episode, "Graybles 1000+"
