[Intro]
[Guitar squeal
Sliding into a crushing riff]
[Verse 1]
Crimson sand
Stuck in my teeth
Boot prints burn
Where we drag our grief
Spines of stone
Rip through the sky
Dust in my lungs
And rage in my eyes (yeah)
[Chorus]
Crimson desert raid
We ride
We pillage
We pray
Swing steel at dragons in the flame
Leviathans rise from the clay
Crimson desert raid
We carve our names in the blaze
Behemoths fall under the blade
Crimson desert
Crimson desert raid
[Verse 2]
Wagon train
Loaded and slow
We cut the ropes
Let the horses go (hey!)
Laugh in the heat
As the merchants curse
Gold in our bags
And thirst in the dirt
[Chorus]
Crimson desert raid
We ride
We pillage
We pray
Swing steel at dragons in the flame
Leviathans rise from the clay
Crimson desert raid
We carve our names in the blaze
Behemoths fall under the blade
Crimson desert
Crimson desert raid
[Bridge]
Night comes down
Like a hunter’s hood
We take their herds
Every hoof
Every hoof we could
Torches howl
Red wind sings
We brand our sin
On everything
[Chorus]
Crimson desert raid
We ride
We pillage
We pray
Swing steel at dragons in the flame
Leviathans drown in the gray
Crimson desert raid
We carve our names in the blaze
Behemoths choke on the chains
Crimson desert
Crimson desert raid
[Outro]
[Extended solo over stomping halftime groove
Ending on a bent
Screaming note]
