[Verse 1] Born where the grass turns gold By the river and the cold A boy with a broken name And a blade to tame the shame They stole the line from his hand Left him hungry in the sand So he learned the hard way first How to turn a wound to thirst [Pre-Chorus] He gathered the outcasts near Made a storm from fear One oath, one flag, one fire Then the whole world climbed higher [Chorus] Khan, Khan, Khan Ride the wind, ride on, Khan, Genghis Khan The steppe went on and on (on and on) [Verse 2] He came down like winter steel Every gate began to kneel From the tents to the city wall He made banners out of them all Couriers ran through the night With the news of his swift tide Law on the road, dust in the cup If you stood, he’d lift you up [Pre-Chorus] He traded blood for a road Carried the world’s load A thousand camps, one sound Where his horses thundered down [Chorus] Khan, Khan, Khan Ride the wind, ride on Khan, Genghis Khan The steppe went on and on (on and on) [Bridge] But every empire bends When the horn call ends Names turn to ash and rain Yet the trail still оста Across the plains, across the years He still rides in their fears [Final Chorus] Khan, Khan, Khan Ride the wind, ride on Khan, Genghis Khan The steppe went on and on (on and on) Genghis Khan Dust and iron, gone Genghis Khan The steppe went on and on (on and on) (Genghis Khan)
