Two Ships from the Ashes

[Verse 1]
The day the eastern host fell wrong
The walls could hold no more
Though brave hearts fought on every street
The Gnar came like a storm
Cities bowed and watchfires died
Old fear returned again
Like in the days when dragons ruled
The lives and minds of men

[Chorus]
So the free folk fled to the hills at night
While the Gnar beasts searched the land
But hope still lived in stubborn souls
And one unbroken clan
Two airships rose through smoke and ash
From the last free harbor’s bay
For the blood of Strongcastle would not yield
Though the world had lost its way

[Verse 2]
The Stormbreaker turned toward the west
Across the iron foam
Where distant lands knew dragon chains
No longer ruled their homes
King David’s children took that path
To seek the help they knew
For England forged with thunder fire
The weapons dragons fear
Gunpowder born from Donna’s theft
Of secrets dragons kept
And whispered tales of ancient light
In hidden vaults still slept

[Chorus]
Two ships rose up through smoke and ash
With hope the world still lacked
One chasing fire across the sea
One riding the southern track
For somewhere still the children’s light
Might break the Gnar Wizard’s scar
And turn the tide of shadowed war
Against the rising Gnar

[Verse 3]
But Andrew turned the other way
With younger hearts and scars
The Baywhar Babe flew southward fast
Beneath unfamiliar stars
For Matthew, rider of proud Prophet,
Had seen in vision clear
A sword that slept in temple stone
Where jungle gods held fear
In lands where Quezacotl ruled
And ancient ruins lay
They chased a blade of legend old
To light the darkest day

[Bridge]
One ship sought thunder from the west
One chased a blade of flame
While in the hills the hunted few
Still fought the Gnar by name
The world seemed lost to shadow then
With hope both faint and far
Yet destiny rode with those two ships
Against the rising Gnar

[Final Chorus]
Two ships flew out through smoke and ash
Beneath the wounded stars
One seeking fire, one seeking steel
To break the hand of Gnar
And though the world had nearly fallen
And darkness traveled far
The winds still carried whispered hope
Against the rising Gnar

[Outro]
Remember well the night they flew
Through storm and fading scar
The Stormbreaker and Baywhar Babe
Against the rising Gnar
