Petro-dragonic Apocalypse
Flapping wings, weaving through
Crocodile, obsolete
Flattened, raze, spraying flames
Blood curdle screech
Dragon, dragon, dragon, dragon
Gila is the aether
Quintessence and preacher
Aura drinker, spirit shrinker
The one true God
Vile smile, mental yolks
Nymphs, sylphs and pygmy's choke
Drink the blood, tasting Tchiort
What hath God wrought?
Dragon, dragon, dragon, dragon
Dragon, dragon, dragon, dragon
Petro-dragonic Apocalypse
Petro-dragonic Apocalypse
Petro-dragonic Apocalypse
Petro-dragonic Apocalypse
Winged demon on the stratosphere is
Swooping beneath to kill with fear
Stop the dragon, dragon, dragon, dragon
Stop the dragon, dragon, dragon
Scrambling jets and ballistic lies burned
Underneath the lidless eyes
Stop the dragon, dragon, dragon, dragon
Stop the dragon, dragon, dragon, dragon
Atomic space, chaos, it reeks
Pilots shriek, cities weep
Stop the dragon, dragon, dragon, dragon
Stop the dragon, dragon, dragon, dragon
Dragon, dragon, dragon, dragon, dragon
Stop the dragon
The eye dilates, the air gyrates
A gate in the sky, a portal to die
A shriek from space, a mangled yell
Dragon descends, welcome to hell
Audi mea verba
Oh ignis draconis
Ex cineribus orior
Altius atque altius
Alis patentibus
Lumine micante
Draco hic apparere debet
In loco subter
The eye dilates, the air gyrates
A gate in the sky, a portal to die
A shriek from space, a mangled yell
Dragon descends, welcome to hell
Ex profunditate antiquae doctrinae
Ad caelos supra semper
Hoc incantamentum evoco
Draco apparet
Incantametum iam transactum est
A creature born of the tempest
The thrill of the hunt
The thrill of the quest
A wild being of chaos and fire
Knowing naught but its own desire
To taste fear in the game's eyes
To claim its victory
To claim its prize
Killing all in its path, nay mercy shown
Until the dragon stands triumphantly high-lone
Dawn of eternal night
Dawn of eternal night
Dawn of eternal night
Dawn of eternal night
Terra firma, Earth murdered in the blink of an eye
Malevolent equivalent, diabolify
Bending storms beneath its will
Firelight troglodyte
Dawn of eternal night
Demonic bird, reptilian, desert, fetid breath
Sapien spite and fatal bite with a foul gas stench
Isiah's come to claim the throne
The dragon's birthright
Dawn of eternal night
The beast we awoke hath been untamed
Eyes of fireth and winds of a flame
It hath arisen from chairest lair
Spreading its wings and taking to the air, yeah
"Dragon" by King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard is a song that delves into the apocalyptic power and destruction of a mythical dragon. The lyrics paint a picture of a world being consumed by this ancient beast, which brings forth chaos, devastation, and an eternal night. The song captures the terror and awe-inspiring force that a dragon represents, embodying themes such as power, fear, and the inevitability of destruction.
The repeated phrase "Petro-dragonic Apocalypse" suggests a connection between the dragon and an impending catastrophe. The lyrics describe the dragon's ability to fly and weave through obstacles effortlessly, while leaving a path of destruction in its wake. The references to specific mythical creatures, such as the crocodile, Gila, nymphs, sylphs, and pygmies, emphasize the diverse range of beings affected by the dragon's wrath. The song also touches upon the idea of gods and their influence, portraying the dragon as a deity or a god-like figure.
The final lines of the song depict the dragon emerging from its lair, spreading its wings, and soaring through the air. This crescendo of power and freedom showcases the unstoppable force of the dragon, leaving the listener with a sense of impending doom and a glimpse of the eternal night that awaits.

The Latin parts translate to:
Hear my words
Oh fire dragon
I rise from the ashes
Deeper and deeper
Wings open
Flashing light
A dragon should appear here
In the place below
From the depth of ancient doctrine
To the heavens above forever
I invoke this spell
A dragon appears
The spell is now over

Glad you asked.
Hear my words
Oh dragon of fire*
I** rise from the ashes
Higher and Higher
With open wings
Flashing light
A dragon should appear here
In a place below
From the depth of ancient doctrine
Forever above the heavens
I invoke this spell
A dragon appears
The spell has now finished
*ignis may be nominative singular which could be interpreted as “fire dragon”
**not sure why they used the first person singular here considering the speaker and the dragon appear to be different beings. Genuinely can’t think of another way it could be translated though
You can see google translate did a pretty good job except a few parts. It’s really not too bad although the deeper and deeper part makes me die inside every time someone posts the google translate version (why would the dragon be going down???)
