[Music: Jon Schaffer / Lyrics: Jon Schaffer]

Do you believe in love?
Do you believe in destiny?
True love may come only once in a thousand lifetimes...
I too have loved... they took her from me.
I prayed for her soul... I prayed for her peace

When I close my eyes
I see her face, it comforts me
When I close my eyes
Memories cut like a knife

The blood is the life, and Christ I defy.
My sworn enemy... birth of a new creed.

Is this my reward for serving God's own war?
The blood I've spilled for faith fulfilled.
To damn her, a disgrace, you spit back in my face.
I served you loyally, and you spew blasphemy.

I avenge with darkness, the blood is the life
The Order of the Dragon, I feed on human life

There are far worse things awaiting man than death
Come taste what I have seen
I'm spreading my disease
I will feed upon His precious child
The human race will bleed, they will serve my need.

[Pre-chorus]
I avenge with darkness, the blood is the life
The Order of the Dragon, I feed on human life

[Chorus]
I am the Dragon of blood, the relentless prince of pain
Renouncing God off His throne
My blood is forever stained

For true love I shall avenge
I defy the creed that damned her
