Rise of the Vermillion is a song sung by The Fold. It was designed as an official theme for the seventh season of the cartoon, describing the various acts and crimes committed by the Vermillion in their plans to assist the Hands of Time.
Lyrics
Start to build a machine
For many years of darkness, the plan was understood.
To build a timeless weapon
For reasons of no good.
Once the snakes reach their critical mass (Critical mass!)
They'll destroy any trouble in our path.
The Hands of Time keep ticking
Stop us if you can!
Serpent nation is seething
This is only THE BEGINNING
[Chorus]
The Vermillion Warrior's on the riiiiiiiiise.
Not one but a million and
Their ready for the fight
Not backing down. (No!)
Just building up.
The Vermillion Warrior's on the riiiiiiiiise.
[Chorus ends]
They say that time's like a stream.
Forever moving onward, unconscious like a dream.
But once we take the Time Blades
The future's guaranteeeeeeed.
It takes a snake of superior class
To command what'll come to paaaass.
Ninjago's history doesn't stand a chaaaance.
Warriors! (Hey!)
Make them pay! (Oooooooaaah!)
[Chorus]
(Whoooooooah!)
The Vermillion Warrior's on the riiiiiiiiise
Not one but a million and
They're ready for the fight
Not backing down. (No!)
Just building up.
The Vermillion Warrior's on the riiiiiiiiise.
[Chorus]
[Chorus repeats and fades out]
