Lyrics by Valgrind for Iron Legacy. A tribute to Iron Maiden. [VERSE 1] Red sun burning over the sand, Enemy banners cross the land. Bronze blades flashing, chariots roar, Egypt is calling the Falcon of War! Wings spread wide in the burning sky, Shadow of Horus passing high. Strike like thunder, talons draw… Hear the cry of the Falcon of War! [CHORUS] Fly! Strike from the sun! Ride! Till the battle is won! Fire in his eyes, Blood on the shore! Raise your blades for the… Falcon of War! [VERSE 2] Walls are shaking, war drums pound, Broken standards hit the ground. No retreat and no surrender, Feel his fury, fierce and splendor! From the Nile to desert stone, No invader takes the throne. Above the battle hear him soar… Egypt follows the Falcon of War! [CHORUS] Fly! Strike from the sun! Ride! Till the battle is won! Fire in his eyes, Blood on the shore! Raise your blades for the… Falcon of War! [solo] [BRIDGE] Wings of vengeance! Eye of flame! Let the enemy… Learn his name! [CHORUS] Fly! Strike from the sun! Ride! Till the battle is won! Fire in his eyes, Blood on the shore! Raise your blades for the… Falcon of War! [FINAL CHORUS] Fly! Strike from the sun! Ride! Till the battle is won! Fire in his eyes, Blood on the shore! Raise your blades for the… Falcon of War! Fly! Strike from the sun! Fight! Till the battle is won! Hear the cry From shore to shore! Raise your blades for the… Falcon of War! [VERSE 1] Red sun burning over the sand, Enemy banners cross the land. Bronze blades flashing, chariots roar, Egypt is calling the Falcon of War! Wings spread wide in the burning sky, Shadow of Horus passing high. Strike like thunder, talons draw… Hear the cry of the Falcon of War! [CHORUS] Fly! Strike from the sun! Ride! Till the battle is won! Fire in his eyes, Blood on the shore! Raise your blades for the… Falcon of War! [VERSE 2] Walls are shaking, war drums pound, Broken standards hit the ground. No retreat and no surrender, Feel his fury, fierce and splendor! From the Nile to desert stone, No invader takes the throne. Above the battle hear him soar… Egypt follows the Falcon of War! [CHORUS] Fly! Strike from the sun! Ride! Till the battle is won! Fire in his eyes, Blood on the shore! Raise your blades for the… Falcon of War! [solo] [BRIDGE] Wings of vengeance! Eye of flame! Let the enemy… Learn his name! [CHORUS] Fly! Strike from the sun! Ride! Till the battle is won! Fire in his eyes, Blood on the shore! Raise your blades for the… Falcon of War! [FINAL CHORUS] Fly! Strike from the sun! Ride! Till the battle is won! Fire in his eyes, Blood on the shore! Raise your blades for the… Falcon of War! Fly! Strike from the sun! Fight! Till the battle is won! Hear the cry From shore to shore! Raise your blades for the… Falcon of War!
