In the shadowed halls of Luthien we stand, Steel in our hearts and katana in hand. The Combine calls with a timeless creed, Honor in action, devotion in deed. Under the banners of Kurita’s reign, We march through fire, we bear the pain. Drums of the Dragon echo through the night, A vow unbroken, a warrior’s right. Hear the Dragon’s roar — “Tatakau tame ni!” (We fight to endure!) Through the smoke and war, we rise again as one. “Bushidō wa ikiru michi.” (Bushidō is the path we live.) Steel against the storm, unyielding to the core — We are the Dragon’s roar. When the PPCs burn and the lasers ignite, We charge headlong into blinding light. The wisdom of MechWarriors past remains, A whisper of power inside our veins. For House Kurita, for honor we bleed — Loyalty first, and victory decreed. Koto strings cry with the rising flame, Calling our spirits, calling our name. Hear the Dragon’s roar — “Kokoro wa kataku!” (Our hearts are firm!) Through the smoke and war, we rise again as one. “Chikai wo hatase.” (Fulfill your vow.) Steel against the storm, unyielding to the core — We are the Dragon’s roar. [Bridge – Japanese + English, spoken over taiko + metal] “Kurita no tame… Uragiranai. Shinu made tatakau.” (For Kurita… We do not betray. We fight until death.) The codes we follow, the blood we bear, In dragon’s fire, we swear, we swear. Hear the Dragon’s roar — “Kokoro wa kataku!” (Our hearts are firm!) Through the smoke and war, we rise again as one. “Chikai wo hatase.” (Fulfill your vow.) Steel against the storm, unyielding to the core — We are the Dragon’s roar. Hear the Dragon’s roar — “Ryu no honō!” (Flame of the dragon!) Through the smoke and war, we rise again as one. “Tadashii michi… ware-ra no michi.” (The righteous path… our path.) Steel against the storm, unyielding evermore — We are the Dragon’s roar. “Yami wo kirisaite… tatsu.” (We cut through the darkness… and rise.)
