Caravan of Fire

מילים

[Verse 1] Past the salt flats, past the stone I rode in with a broken bone A moonlit map in my right hand And a promise carved in desert sand The bazaar was gold and smoke Old eyes watched when the lanterns woke Then the sky split wide in flame And the towers called my name [Pre-Chorus] Hear that thunder on the ridge Something huge is crossing the bridge I taste iron in the air You said, "Go on" — I'm already there [Chorus] Ride on, ride on, caravan of fire Rise up, rise up, never coming down Ride on, ride on, caravan of fire I won't bow to the dragon crown Caravan of fire Caravan of fire [Verse 2] By the ruins of the blue mosque wall I saw dark wings make the moonlight fall A serpent king with eyes like knives Took three brave men and their cries I drew my blade from a cedar chest With a charm my mother pressed to my vest She said, "When fear gets in your throat" Sing through the wound, and don't let go [Pre-Chorus] Hear that thunder on the ridge Something huge is crossing the bridge I taste iron in the air You said, "Go on" — I'm already there [Chorus] Ride on, ride on, caravan of fire Rise up, rise up, never coming down Ride on, ride on, caravan of fire I won't bow to the dragon crown Caravan of fire Caravan of fire [Bridge] [Half-time] When the sky turned low and red I saw the beast above my head But the little lights in your eyes Were brighter than a thousand lies So I climbed the ruined stair Through the ash and sacred air And I shouted to the storm above You don't own this road, you don't own our love [Chorus] Ride on, ride on, caravan of fire Rise up, rise up, never coming down Ride on, ride on, caravan of fire I won't bow to the dragon crown Caravan of fire Caravan of fire [Outro] When dawn comes riding on the dune We'll be dancing with the broken moon Ride on, ride on, caravan of fire Caravan of fire
