[Intro]
A cold wind crosses the open plain
Hooves strike sparks from the frozen ground
Under the blue crown, we gather again
One breath, one drum, one thunder sound
[Verse 1]
I carry the dust of a thousand rides
A bronze bell swings at my shoulder
The eagle turns where the mountain divides
And the old road grows colder
My throat holds fire, my feet hold stone
I learned the storm from the grass
No borrowed crown, no master’s throne
We rise when the hard years pass
[Pre-Chorus]
Hear the low earth answer
Feel the valley wake
Every bone remembers
Every chain will break
[Chorus]
Ride through the ash, ride through the flame
Call out the blood that remembers your name
Under the vast sky, stand unafraid
We are the thunder the silence made
[Drop]
Break the gate
Shake the ground
Turn the buried fire around
Break the gate
Shake the ground
Let the ancient voice resound
[Verse 2]
A felt tent glows by the river bend
Salt tea steams in a silver bowl
I see your face where the long roads end
And hear the drum inside my soul
The winter tested the ropes and hide
The summer opened its hand
We kept our word on the shifting tide
We kept our feet in the sand
[Pre-Chorus]
Hear the low earth answer
Feel the valley wake
Every bone remembers
Every chain will break
[Chorus]
Ride through the ash, ride through the flame
Call out the blood that remembers your name
Under the vast sky, stand unafraid
We are the thunder the silence made
[Breakdown]
Hoom... khöömii...
One breath beneath the mountain
One voice across the plain
Hoom... khöömii...
The hidden river rises
And rolls through us again
[Final Chorus]
Ride through the ash, ride through the flame
Call out the blood that remembers your name
Under the vast sky, stand unafraid
We are the thunder the silence made
[Outro]
When the last ember fades from view
The wide blue sky still carries you
