Arcane Joust (Frostheart Mix)

[Verse 1] "Mead" on his breath Ash on his robes Cloak smoking from a spell gone awry He signs the ledger Laughing too loud “Put me down to ride” Out from the stables Rattling plates Not a horse But a thing he designed Arcane fire Wind and steel Holding the lance The mage rides [Chorus] Runes dancing around its stride (hey!) Every hoofbeat bends the sky Drunk in the saddle of a spell gone wild He leans and he trusts the tide Runes dancing around its stride (woah) Crowd pulls back like a breaking tide If madness is law in this field tonight Let the runes Let the runes decide [Verse 2] Helm hanging crooked Smile even worse He toasts the nobles as he sways by Banner wrapped lazy ’round his wrist Inked with sigils that refuse to die Knight in full armor Polished and proud Whispers a prayer on the other side The construct snorts With a furnace glow Storm in its iron hide [Chorus] Runes dancing around its stride (hey!) Every hoofbeat bends the sky Drunk in the saddle of a spell gone wild He leans and he trusts the tide Runes dancing around its stride (woah) Crowd pulls back like a breaking tide If madness is law in this field tonight Let the runes Let the runes decide [Bridge] [Halftime Drums thunder; choir low and ominous] Lances lower Air grows thin He hiccups a charm Lets the world spin Steel meets shield Then slips aside His laughing curse Rewrites the line [Chorus] Runes dancing around its stride (hey!) Every hoofbeat bends the sky Drunk in the saddle of a spell gone wild He leans and he trusts the tide Runes dancing around its stride (woah) From the tilt to the tavern’s side They’ll sing of the mage who broke the lists On a storm he could barely ride
