Blade in the Burning Sky

Boot prints in the frozen dust

Rust on the ancient gate

Blood on the knuckles

Cracked and rough

Name carved into the fate

Black peaks tearing up the dawn

Wind howls through the chainmail rings

Only my shadow walking on

Carrying a thousand things

I ride on

Blade in the burning sky

Heart like a war drum

I won’t die

Every scar a vow I swore

I was born for something more

Alone on the edge where the wild wolves cry

I raise my steel and I ask why

But I ride on

Blade in the burning sky

Old gods in the twisted pines

Stare from the knotted bark

Ghosts of the ones I left behind

March in the growing dark

Maps fade in a leather pouch

Stars keep the clearer road

Fear tries to drag me

Make me crouch

I answer with a heavy oath

I ride on

Blade in the burning sky

Heart like a war drum

I won’t die

Every scar a vow I swore

I was born for something more

Alone on the edge where the wild wolves cry

I raise my steel and I ask why

But I ride on

Blade in the burning sky

[Halftime

Drums pounding]

If I fall here

Let the ravens sing

Carve my story in the stone and skin

I am the storm that the dark can’t drown

I am the fire that the rain can’t drown

I ride on

Blade in the burning sky

Heart like a war drum

I won’t die

Every scar a vow I swore

I was born for something more

Alone on the edge where the wild wolves cry

I raise my steel and I touch the sky

Yeah I ride on

Blade in the burning sky
