[Verse 1] Sand in my teeth Steel under bare feet Wires in the dust I still trust the heat Chrome on my skin Tattoos of old wind Drum in my chest Kicks in again [Chorus] I run like a lion through the circuit fire (hey!) Gold eyes blazing through the smoke and wire Heart like thunder in the desert choir I rise I rise (ana al'asal) I never tire I run like a lion through the circuit fire [Verse 2] Sky made of smoke Codes in the crow’s throat Palm leaves shiver When the ground starts to float Voices in layers Calling my name Root of the mountain Spark of the mainframe [Chorus] I run like a lion through the circuit fire (oh!) Gold eyes blazing through the smoke and wire Heart like thunder in the desert choir I rise I rise (ana al'asal) I never tire I run like a lion through the circuit fire [Bridge] Circle of embers Circle of hands Call and answer Salt on the sand Breath on my shoulder Ancient and near When I shout once Every beast hears [Chorus] I run like a lion through the circuit fire (hey!) Gold eyes blazing through the smoke and wire Heart like thunder in the desert choir I rise I rise (ana al'asal) I never tire I run like a lion through the circuit fire
