[Verse 1] Boots in the burning dune Steel on a copper sky We ride where the wells ran dry Still we don’t kneel, don’t die Face full of desert grit Blade held by a thirsty hand Brother, keep up the pace We live by the line in the sand [Pre-Chorus] Hear the call from the ridge Hear the drums in the heat Every scar is a map Every step is a beat [Chorus] Ride, ride, Arabian knights Hold, hold through the white-hot nights Sands of iron, hearts on fire We survive, we survive Ride, ride, Arabian knights Stand as one in the savage light Sands of iron, hearts on fire We survive, we survive (we survive) [Verse 2] Smoke on the caravan trail Ash in the leather straps Eyes on the horizon line No room for turning back Water in a cracked old skin Prayer on the brother’s breath If the storm comes down again We answer it face to death [Pre-Chorus] Hear the call from the ridge Hear the drums in the heat Every scar is a map Every step is a beat [Chorus] Ride, ride, Arabian knights Hold, hold through the white-hot nights Sands of iron, hearts on fire We survive, we survive Ride, ride, Arabian knights Stand as one in the savage light Sands of iron, hearts on fire We survive, we survive (we survive) [Bridge] [Half-time drop] From the old stone gate to the black glass dune We carry the names of the fallen through Sitar cries like a sharpened moon And the whole tribe rises soon [Final Chorus] Ride, ride, Arabian knights Hold, hold through the white-hot nights Sands of iron, hearts on fire We survive, we survive Ride, ride, Arabian knights Stand as one in the savage light Sands of iron, hearts on fire We survive, we survive (we survive)
