[Verse 1] Red sand in my teeth Iron on my tongue Woke up on a dying world With an Earth-born lung Thin air Three moons Bleeding over stone Every step I took The planet called me "own" [Chorus] I am the Jeddak of two worlds Blood of blue and blood of red I was dead beneath the canyon Now I rise where old gods bled Call my name across the dust From the towers down to the scars John Carter John Carter of Mars [Verse 2] Chain in my hand But the chain feels light Leaping over warbands Like a ghost in flight Green giants watching Four arms full of doubt Til I tore their banner And the whole tribe shouted out [Chorus] [Bridge] Princess with a steel gaze Maps burned in her eyes Whispers in the war tent "Pick a world Or both will die" I laid down my sorrow On that silent rusted star Chose a crown made out of promise Over home so far So far [Chorus]
