(Intro – desert wind + distant bagpipes) (Boot steps in sand) (Low toms like galloping horses) Dust on the boots and fire in the sky Ride through the heat where the vultures fly Sun cut red on the canyon wall One lone shadow answering the call (Bagpipe swell + Spanish guitar tremolo) Through the mesas the spirits sing Silver moon and a serpent king Sombrero low, eyes made of flame The desert remembers my name (Pre-Chorus – drums build, hand percussion) Raise that cry through the burning west Steel in the heart and thunder in chest Wind keep howling, never let go Legends are born where the wild sands blow CHORUS (Huge desert-rock riff + soaring bagpipes) SOMBRERO OF THE LAST SUN Ride till the dying day is done Bagpipes cry through the blood-red glow King of the dust where the bad winds blow SOMBRERO OF THE LAST SUN Outrun death and the smoking gun Shadows fall but the soul rides on Through the desert beyond the dawn (Verse 2 – fuzz bass + mariachi horns) Scorpion moon and tequila rain Ghosts of warriors call my name Boot heels strike like a battle drum From the dry earth the echoes come Cactus kings and the outlaw choir Circle the night around the fire Bagpipes scream like the old gods rise Storm of sand in the midnight skies (Bridge – halftime, epic bagpipe solo) (Massive bagpipe + electric guitar duel 20 sec) Ride through the storm Ride through the flame No grave can hold A desert name FINAL CHORUS (Everything huge, choir + gang vocals) SOMBRERO OF THE LAST SUN Ride till the stars and moon are one Bagpipes cry and the heavens shake The earth will roar with every step we take SOMBRERO OF THE LAST SUN The legend lives when the war is won Through the dunes forever strong The desert turns my soul to song
