Fire, fire, dragon fire
Searing words of ancient ire
Wake, wake from the grave
Rise to set the world aflame

Night, night, endless night
Terror is the only light
Bane, bane, rage untamed
Darkness dwells in age-old blame

/./././. (1)
/./././. (1)
/-/-/./ (2)
/./././ (2)

The song is in a trochaic rhythm where downbeats can be freely omitted. This will make things easy. You will also need just two rhyming pairs per stanza. There are more than 60 rhyme groups in canon (accounting for vowel length), each with an average of ten words. Plenty to choose from.

@Frinmulaar So far, Zin and I have come up with this:
Yol, yol, dovah yol,
Agtaas rot do wuth rahgol
Vo, vo, nok ko qoth,
Alok wah meyz yolos golt
Vul, vul, ulse vul,
Maar, nii los fin nunon kun
Feyn, feyn, rahgot fel,
Vulom lahney ko wuth rel

I think we're pretty much done, but if you have any suggestions, just post on here!

For the line:"night, night, endless night," I suggest using Vulon instead of vul and Unslaad instead of ulse.

Well, one must remember, we need it to fit with the original syllables. "Vulon, vulon, vulon unslaad" would not fit. "Vul, vul, ul-se vul" has exactly the same amount of sylables as "night, night, end-less night", so we would want to use that.
