Burning Dawn Horizon 2 (Version 2)

Intro

Verse 1 – male vocal, chanting

Iron gates of dawn are opening wide

Through the smoke I see your eyes

Cries of steel and fire as we ride

Till the sun's cold blade cuts the tide

Pre-Chorus – ritual chant with female murmur

Hold your ground, hold your name

Rise to meet the burning frame

Let the war drums speak to me

Bring the light into the dark, bring it free

Chorus – full band and ritual chant

Burning dawn horizon, call to arms at last

We have come to claim our place, we will not be aghast

Rise up from your shadow self

In this fire, let yourself be whole

Burning dawn horizon, take the blade and rise

Let the light illuminate the war cries

Verse 2 – male vocal, chanting

Through the gates of gold we charge into the sun

War drums beating till the fight is won

Every sword a burning light

Cutting through to reach what's right

Crows cry out across our path

As we chase the dying breath

Pre-Chorus – ritual chant with female murmur

Hold your ground, hold your name

Rise to meet the burning frame

Let the war drums speak to me

Bring the light into the dark, bring it free

Chorus – full band and ritual chant

Burning dawn horizon, call to arms at last

We have come to claim our place, we will not be aghast

Rise up from your shadow self

In this fire, let yourself be whole

Burning dawn horizon, take the blade and rise

Let the light illuminate the war cries

Bridge – ritual chant with distant female murmur

Hold the flame where darkness was

Cut it loose and send it out

We will not forget our fall

Rise above it once again

Every heart beats as one tonight

Till the light of dawn sets fire to night

Chorus – full band, ritual chant and rising strings

Burning dawn horizon, call to arms at last

We have come to claim our place, we will not be aghast

Rise up from your shadow self

In this fire, let yourself be whole

Burning dawn horizon, take the blade and rise

Let the light illuminate the war cries

Outro – ritual chant with fading female murmur

In this fire, let yourself be whole

We have come to claim our place

Hold your ground, hold your name
