[Intro]
Iron gates are creaking
Smoke curls from the clay
Broken voices waking
See another day

[Verse 1]
Edged with fading thunder
Wardens watch the plain
Ashen fields of longing
Calling out in vain

[Pre-Chorus]
Old ghosts walk the silent path
Gather where they roam
Shifting through the morning haze
Far away from home

[Chorus]
Heavy crown of thunder
Fallen children fold
Tear at broken banners
Dreams of fire and gold

[Post-Chorus]
Oh, they ride
Oh, they ride, ride

[Verse 2]
Clay-born men are marching
Painted eyes agleam
Spinning wheels of fortune
Haunted by a dream

[Pre-Chorus]
Shiver as the night arrives
Crimson banners wave
Shadows crawl across the sky
Calling out the name

[Chorus]
Heavy crown of thunder
Fallen children fold
Tear at broken banners
Dreams of fire and gold

[Post-Chorus]
Oh, they ride
Oh, they ride, ride

[Bridge]
Iron scars upon the land
Silent faces peer
Ancient bells are ringing
History draws near

[Verse 3]
Worn-out kings are kneeling
Shards of silver rain
Pages lost and bleeding
Nothing will remain

[Pre-Chorus]
Cold wind shakes the empty fields
Tangled banners torn
Marching in the fading light
Waiting for the dawn

[Chorus]
Heavy crown of thunder
Fallen children fold
Tear at broken banners
Dreams of fire and gold

[Post-Chorus]
Oh, they ride
Oh, they ride, ride
Oh, they ride

[Outro]
Dust and stone remember
Silent ages gone
Hollow voices gather
Soon to carry on

[Post-Chorus]
Oh, they ride
Oh, they ride, ride
Oh, they ride,

[Coda]
Broken drums are trembling
Bronze beneath the ground
Guardians of silence
Wheels keep turning round

[Post-Chorus]
Oh, they ride
Oh, they ride, ride
Oh, they ride, ride

[Final Line]
Time slips from the circle
Still, they ride, ride

[Final Line]
Time slips from the circle
Still, they ride, ride

[Epigraph]
Silent thunder echoes on
Ashes trace the line
Secrets written underground
Lost but still they shine

[Post-Chorus]
Oh, they ride
Oh, they ride, ride
Oh, they ride

[Outro Reprise]
Hands upon the ages
Turning stones to sand
Silver eyes still watching
Waiting for command

[Post-Chorus]
Oh, they ride
Oh, they ride, ride
Oh, they ride
