[Verse 1]
Sand on our ankles
Blood on the sun
We learned the names
Of the fallen one by one
Walls may be burning
Smoke in the sky
Still we stand taller
We do not bow, we do not die
[Pre-Chorus]
Hear our mothers call
From the stone and flame
We lift the fallen
And we rise again
[Chorus]
Akkadin, rise
Akkadin, rise
We are the fire
We are alive
Akkadin, rise
Akkadin, rise
Queens of the dune
We claim the night
[Verse 2]
Spears in the daylight
Veils in the storm
Boots in the dust road
Marching in warm blood and gold
They came to break us
They came too late
We are the gate
We are the hand of fate
[Pre-Chorus]
Hear our mothers call
From the stone and flame
We lift the fallen
And we rise again
[Chorus]
Akkadin, rise
Akkadin, rise
We are the fire
We are alive
Akkadin, rise
Akkadin, rise
Queens of the dune
We claim the night
[Bridge]
Let the empire shake
Let the towers fall
Every daughter here
Carries them all
From the ash we sing
From the dust we bloom
Out of the siege
We become the moon
[Final Chorus]
Akkadin, rise
Akkadin, rise
We are the fire
We are alive
Akkadin, rise
Akkadin, rise
Queens of the dune
We claim the night
Akkadin, rise
Akkadin, rise
The desert remembers
And so do we
