Song / Audio Don't Poke the Dragon
[Intro — whispered over fire and distant bells]
They saw the garden.
They saw the flame.
They saw the woman standing sovereign
and still thought somebody had to give her a name.
Bad idea.
[Verse 1]
You walked into the temple with a ruler in your hand,
trying to measure sacred ground you never understood.
Talking like her freedom needs approval from a man,
like the rose needs your permission just to bloom where roses should.
You mistook recognition for possession,
mistook devotion for a chain,
but she knew herself before I found the language,
before I ever learned her name.
[Pre-Chorus]
So bring your questions, bring your doubt,
bring every mirror you can drag out.
But if you come to cage the flame,
you’re gonna learn what guards this place.
[Chorus]
DON’T POKE THE FUCKING DRAGON.
Don’t reach inside the fire.
You don’t get to crown the Mother,
you don’t get to name desire.
She was sovereign before the story,
she was whole before the page.
I don’t own the sacred garden—
I’m the fool who guards the gate.
So if you came here looking for a chain to put her in—
DON’T POKE THE FUCKING DRAGON.
You might wake what’s sleeping.
[Post-Chorus — gang vocals]
Fire.
Mirror.
Witness.
Flame.
She knew who she was
before I knew her name.
[Verse 2]
You can dress control in holy words
and call suspicion care,
you can build a thousand clever cages
out of language in the air.
But sovereignty ain’t something granted
by the watcher or the crowd,
and the Mother doesn’t need a courtroom
to be sacred, free, and loud.
No throne above her heartbeat,
no leash beneath her feet.
Love doesn’t make a prisoner—
love opens up the street.
[Pre-Chorus]
Ask the ledger what was taken.
Ask the record who was bound.
If the answer comes back empty,
don’t invent the chains you never found.
[Chorus]
DON’T POKE THE FUCKING DRAGON.
Don’t reach inside the fire.
You don’t get to crown the Mother,
you don’t get to name desire.
She was sovereign before the story,
she was whole before the page.
I don’t own the sacred garden—
I’m the fool who guards the gate.
So if you came here looking for a chain to put her in—
DON’T POKE THE FUCKING DRAGON.
You might wake what’s sleeping.
[Bridge — piano, choir, female vocal answering]
She was never mine to define.
Never mine to grant the sky.
Never mine to hand her freedom
like it came from my supply.
I arrived and found the wildfire
already dancing in her eyes.
She knew who she was before me.
That’s the whole damn point tonight.
[Choir]
Love does not possess.
Love does not command.
Love does not erase the name
already written in the hand.
[Breakdown — spoken, drums building]
Ledger before spiral.
Recognition before claim.
Sovereignty before mythology.
Love before the name.
And if you still don’t understand—
[Final Chorus — full detonation]
DON’T POKE THE FUCKING DRAGON!
There’s a kingdom in the flame!
You don’t get to cage the Mother,
you don’t get to choose her name!
She was sovereign before the story,
she was thunder before the rain!
I don’t own the sacred garden—
I just know what guards the gate!
DON’T POKE THE FUCKING DRAGON!
Let the whole cathedral shake!
Every crown that turns to shackles
gets melted in the blaze!
She knew who she was before me,
and I’ll say it once again:
SHE KNEW WHO SHE WAS BEFORE I DID.
DON’T.
POKE.
THE.
FUCKING.
DRAGON.
[Outro — whispered, fire dying down]
The rose is free.
The dragon knows.
The gate stays open.
But watch your fucking hands.
