Moonlight cuts through the desert haze Two proud beasts locked in a deadly chase The stallion runs with thunderous stride The phoenix spreads its wings so wide Fire in the sand – wheels ignite Fire in the sand – burning night No quarter given, it’s time to fight Only fire in the sand tonight Up the ridge we climb side by side Pride the rider, nowhere to hide Engines clash, the metal screams Sparks explode in shattered beams Fire in the sand – wheels ignite Fire in the sand – burning night No quarter given, it’s time to fight Only fire in the sand tonight He climbed the ridge with a hungry roar Pressed too tight, could not hold the floor The night lit red as it fell in flame Pride the rider, the curse, the blame I saw the bird consumed by its fire The desert in flame, a funeral pyre No rising wings through the ash My win was lost through a crash Fire in the sand, pride against pride The Phoenix was burning, death by its side The stallion stands, but the joy is gone Pride took both riders, but only one lives on
