[Intro] [Vinyl Crackle] [Ney] [Whispered] Night over the Nile... The heavens twist... The thunder calls your name... [Verse 1] [Breathy] [Intimate] Red coils across a desert moon Sapphire burning in the crest Two mouths open on the wind A name I kept inside my chest They carved you in a tablet stone Then hid you where the kings were laid Three thousand years of dust and bone Till the cards remembered what we made [Pre-Chorus] [Building Energy] Not the sun I bleed to call Not the giant in the ground You're every card I haven't played And the storm that finds me now [Chorus] [Soulful] [Harmonies] Sky dragon, rise through the storm Red god of Osiris, keep me warm A thousand in the hand, a thunder in the vein Sky dragon, say my name The heavens twist, the desert knows Two mouths speaking in the glow I called you down from the oldest sky SLY-fer... the Sky Dragon [Verse 2] [Breathy] They stole you from the valley floor A hunter's sleeve, a puppet's draw He filled a hand that was not his And called it holy, called it law Then a boy with a puzzle heart Took the red god as his due Not by breaking what you are By starving the hand that grew you [Pre-Chorus] Three souls laid upon the sand The summon will not turn away I almost stayed my hand one night But the sky still made me stay [Chorus] [Soulful] [Harmonies] Sky dragon, rise through the storm Red god of Osiris, keep me warm A thousand in the hand, a thunder in the vein Sky dragon, say my name The heavens twist, the desert knows Two mouths speaking in the glow I called you down from the oldest sky SLY-fer... the Sky Dragon [Bridge] [Quiet arrangement] [Emotional] I met the blue god in the coliseum Even power... then we turned to stone A city under sand remembered Two kings, one throne When the dark one made the heavens marble A true name cut the night Three gods became one light And the sky remembered how to fight [Breakdown] [Spoken Word] [Whispered] Lightning on the tongue... Minus everything you summoned... If you fall to nothing... you fall. [Final Chorus] [Soulful] [Choir] Sky dragon, rise through the storm Red god of Osiris, keep me warm A thousand in the hand, a thunder in the vein Sky dragon, say my name The heavens twist, the thunder calls Dawn of true power after all I emptied three to bring you down Now the sky is ours I am with the Sky Dragon SLY-fer the Sky Dragon The Sky Dragon [Outro] [Falling tension] [Vinyl Crackle] [Ney] The heavens twist... The thunder roars... The ancient thing is here... And the sky is yours.
