[Intro – Twin guitar harmonies over fast drums] Highway's burnin', wheels of fate Magic calls… and it won’t wait! [Verse 1] Packed up our lives, said goodbye to the grey City of steel left to rust and decay Engine’s roarin', kids in the back Mom’s got the map, Dad’s got the knack Down the road, the sky turned gold Mountains moved and the wind felt cold Through the mist, a gate appeared Glowing bright — we had no fear [Chorus] ⚡ Ride! On the road to Evermore! Through the fire, through the storm! Dragons fly, and spirits roar We’re alive — on the road to Evermore! [Verse 2] Fairy lights and talking trees Beasts that howl with silver keys Riddles told by goblin kings Armor shines and phoenix wings Lost in woods that shift and twist One wrong turn — fall into the abyss! But we pressed on with hearts ablaze Through magic lands and ancient haze [Chorus] ⚡ Ride! On the road to Evermore! Through the fire, through the storm! Dragons fly, and spirits roar We’re alive — on the road to Evermore! [Bridge – Halford-style high vocals + shredding guitar solo] Swords and spells, trials and fate Every mile opened a gate Together strong, we held the line A family forged in realms divine [Solo – Dual lead guitars trade licks in classic Tipton/Downing style] [Final Verse – half-time, heavy groove] And as the skyline rose ahead With towers bright and rivers red We reached the end, but knew for sure The journey made us something more [Final Chorus – Double-time, triumphant] ⚡ Ride! On the road to Evermore! We’ve seen worlds unknown before No turning back, our spirits soar Home at last — from the road to Evermore! [Outro – Slow fade with melodic guitars and ambient synth] Magic never fades… When you ride the road… to Evermore…
