[Intro] (Heavy frame drums, fire crackles, low breathing) Ooh-ah… Ooh-ah… Stone in hand… fire in chest… Ugh… ha… Ugh… ha… [Verse 1] Sun drops low, moon like bone Shadows crawl across the stone First time out, first time bleed Heart beat fast, but I won't flee Paint my face with clay and ash Spear is heavy, teeth will clash Elders watch from cave's dark mouth I step forward… I step south [Pre-Chorus] Blood is warm, wind is cold Story written, brave and bold If I fall, I fall to ground If I rise, I wear the crown [Chorus] Good time to die… under painted sky Good time to fight… with fire in my sight If the spear finds me, let it be Good time to die… wild and free Hey! Ho! Hey! Ho! Good time to die… let the embers glow [Verse 2] Feet on dirt, breath in throat Hear the war-drum, hear the note Teeth and bone, hide and shield No more running, time to yield? No. Time to break, time to strike Time to claim the killing light Brother falls, I take his place Fire in my eyes, I set the pace [Pre-Chorus] Blood is warm, wind is cold Story written, brave and bold If I fall, I fall to ground If I rise, I wear the crown [Chorus] Good time to die… under painted sky Good time to fight… with fire in my sight If the spear finds me, let it be Good time to die… wild and free Hey! Ho! Hey! Ho! Good time to die… let the embers glow [Bridge] (Drums slow, chanting rises, voices layer) Grandfather's breath in the smoke Mother's song in the rock Fear is meat, I chew it down I am beast, I wear the sound Ugh-ah! Ugh-ah! Rise! Rise! Ash to ash, eye to eye! Not afraid to meet the night Born of fire, born for fight! [Guitar/Drum Break] (Primal stomps, rhythmic claps, rising tension) [Chorus] Good time to die… under painted sky Good time to fight… with fire in my sight If the spear finds me, let it be Good time to die… wild and free Hey! Ho! Hey! Ho! Good time to die… let the embers glow [Outro] (Drums fade, fire crackles, breath slows) Ooh-ah… Ooh-ah… Stone in hand… fire in chest… Good time to die… Good time to rest… (Single drum hit. Silence.)
