The desert breathes in burning gold
Wind carves names in bone and stone
Armor sings beneath the sun
A thousand miles and still we run
Footsteps drown in drifting sand
Blood and dust upon my hands
No songs rise where banners fall
Only echoes on the wall
We march with ghosts we cannot see
Each shadow wears my face
In the sand in the flame
We carve the world with steel and pain
City walls rise city walls break
Thrones are built on what we take
No glory left no prayers remain
Only strength that learns to ache
We fight alone we stand the same
Bound by dust by oath by fate
Drums beat slow like dying hearts
Iron teeth tear gates apart
Fire climbs the city’s skin
Night falls hard the war begins
I taste rust in every breath
Victory smells too close to death
Every step we claim as ground
Costs a life without a sound
No one asks us why we bleed
The road remembers all
In the sand in the flame
We carve the world with steel and pain
City walls rise city walls break
Thrones are built on what we take
No glory left no prayers remain
Only strength that learns to ache
We fight alone we stand the same
Bound by dust by oath by fate
If the wind still knows my name
Let it carry it away
Let the desert keep my bones
I was never meant for home
Through the sand through the flame
We walk forward all the same
Empires fall empires wake
History drinks what we make
No songs for us no bright parade
Only fire that never fades
We are the silence after rain
The blade the scar the price the reign
The desert closes every trace
Only the wind remembers our face
