The title was chosen first, then the song came after. The title was lifted from a dragon movie where this lady said "he's in league with the dragon"...so we ripped it off and used it for the title of this song.
lyrics
LONG AGO BEFORE THE RAGE
I CAN HEAR THEM CALL MY NAME
I'VE HEARD THESE SCREAMS BEFORE
THE BATTLE TO SLAY THE DRAGON DEAD
THE NAILS OF PAIN ARE BURNING RED
I KNOW MY DESTINY AWAITS TO TAKE THE FALL
BLACKENED HEARTS CAN'T TELL THE FACTS
TO LUNGE THE SWORD INTO THE DRAGONS BACK
I'M SCARED TO DEATH, AND I WILL DIE SOON
HOLDING ANGER DEEP INSIDE
I CANNOT RUN I CANNOT HIDE
I MUST ACCOMPLISH MY DESTINY TO KILL
THE BLANKET OF LIGHT HAS RISEN
GRASP THE LIGHT, HOLD ONTO THE FLAME
BREAKING FREE FROM HIS MISERY
YOU WILL AWAKE FROM THIS LOSS
SCREAMS OF PAIN FROM THE BURNING CROSS
IF YOU BELIEVE IN THE DRAGON
GRASP AHOLD OF THE MIGHTY AXE
NEVER FEAR THERE'S NO TURNING BACK
HOLD ON TIGHT, FEEL THE ACHING BLOW
GRAB HOLD TO THE MIGHTY AXE
NEVER FEAR THERE'S NO TURNING BACK
HOLD ON TIGHT, FEEL THE ACHING BLOW
I KNOW THERE IS NO MISERY
LISTEN TO ME, I'M NOT AFRAID
'CAUSE I'M IN LEAGUE WITH THE DRAGON
LONG AGO BEFORE THE RAGE
I CAN HEAR THEM CALL MY NAME
I'VE HEARD THE SCREAMS BEFORE
THE BATTLE TO SLAY THE DRAGON DEAD
THE NAILS OF PAIN ARE BURNING RED
I KNOW MY DESTINY AWAITS TO TAKE THE FALL
BLACKENED HEARTS CAN'T TELL THE FACTS
TO LUNGE THE SWORD INTO THE DRAGONS BACK
I'M SCARED TO DEATH, AND I WILL DIE SOON
HOLDING ANGER DEEP INSIDE
I CANNOT RUN I CANNOT HIDE
I MUST ACCOMPLISH MY DESTINY TO KILL
FEEL THE FIRE BURNING IN HIS EYES
STRIP AWAY THE DRAGON'S PRIDE
FEEL THE ANGER DEEP INSIDE YOUR MIND
I BELIEVE IN THE DRAGON
YOU'RE IN LEAGUE WITH THE DRAGON
YOU'RE IN LEAGUE WITH THE DRAGON

If Elric had a soundtrack it would be this. It's everything you want from a epic metal album. Like a hot poker in the eye, but in a good way. Scott Malthouse

My favorite material from Solstice! Despite their amazing discography that lay before this that completely set the foundation, this in my opinion is where it all comes to a mighty peak. What an amazing emotional and powerful picture painted in such a short amount of time. Talon Sullivan
