NDC Week 19/72 Genre: Bhangra Theme: World Cultures ################################ [Intro] From the ice… to the fire… From the fjords… to the rising sun… [Verse 1] We carved our names in frozen seas, Salt on our skin and iron in our teeth. Longships roaring through the storm, Chasing gold where the deserts breathe. Through mountain passes, dust and flame, Silk and spice called out our names. Northern wolves with restless eyes, Following stars through foreign skies. Hey! Ho! Carry the fire where the cold winds blow! Hey! Ho! From the fjord to the roads of gold! [Chorus] Dance, brothers, dance tonight! Raise the torches to the sky! Dhol drums thunder side by side, Vikings of the Silk Road ride! Ho! Ho! Steel and saffron, fire and snow! Ho! Ho! Hear the northern lions roar! [Verse 2] In crowded markets filled with light, We traded amber late at night. Silver rings and northern mead, For painted silk and emerald beads. They taught us songs with burning feet, We answered back with thunder beats. Different tongues but hearts the same, Every table fed the flame. [Bridge] Across the dunes… Across the sea… No king owns the wandering free… [Breakdown] HEY! Stamp the ground and raise your hands! HEY! From the ice to distant lands! Fire in the north! Fire in the south! Sing together loud enough to shake the clouds! [Final Chorus] Dance, brothers, dance tonight! Raise the torches to the sky! Snow and desert unified, Vikings of the Silk Road ride! Ho! Ho! Hear the drums across the world! Ho! Ho! Raise the banners, let them burn! [Outro] From the fjords… To the Silk Road… We were never meant… To stand still…
