[Verse 1] Dust on the crown of dawn Iron in the blackened sand You wake with a mouth of flame And a blade in the heart of man A red eye turns in the void Slow like a judge in smoke Every prayer hits the wall Every vow comes back as iron [Pre-Chorus] Hear that far-off thunder It’s your name in the stone Step by step, the scar grows Step by step, you own [Chorus] Mars, the bringer of war Mars, the bringer of war You come in a halo of blood And the world begs for more Mars, the bringer of war Mars, the bringer of war I can feel your ancient fire At the edge of my soul [Verse 2] Canyons like broken crowns Frost in a pagan grave Storms in a buried sea Waking under the caves Your armies are moving now Silent in rust and red Every dream learns to kneel Every king learns to shed [Pre-Chorus] Hear that far-off thunder It’s your name in the stone Step by step, the scar grows Step by step, you own [Chorus] Mars, the bringer of war Mars, the bringer of war You come in a halo of blood And the world begs for more Mars, the bringer of war Mars, the bringer of war I can feel your ancient fire At the edge of my soul [Bridge] [Ethereal break] Out past the broken stars I see the same red hymn Father of broken peace Pulling the weak back in [Guitar Solo] [Final Chorus] Mars, the bringer of war Mars, the bringer of war You come in a halo of blood And the world begs for more Mars, the bringer of war Mars, the bringer of war I can feel your ancient fire At the edge of my soul Mars, the bringer of war Mars, the bringer of war Ride me through the ember dark Till I’m forged in your glow
