Zagros Blood

Verse 1

Sharp summits

My cradle of stone

Black tent shaking while the winds groan

Bitter herbs in the water

I am a wanderer and a daughter

Tied to the goat skin

Bells ringing out where the paths begin

Canyon carved deep

A promise we keep

Pre-Chorus

Snow on the peak

Salt on the tongue

Ancient air fills up my lung

Mountain spirit

Mountain voice

I had no choice

Chorus

Daughter of the Zagros

Wild and wide

I have nothing to hide

Rising from the valley floor

Calling through the open door

Zagros blood

Zagros pride

Nowhere left to hide

Verse 2

Rifle on the shoulder

Heavier than the boulder

Treads in the mud

Tears in the flood

Eagle soaring through the rift

Catching a violent shift

Pistachios falling from the branch

Fear is a mountain avalanche

Climbing

Striving

Barely surviving

Pre-Chorus

Snow on the peak

Salt on the tongue

Ancient air fills up my lung

Mountain spirit

Mountain voice

I had no choice

Chorus

Daughter of the Zagros

Wild and wide

I have nothing to hide

Rising from the valley floor

Calling through the open door

Zagros blood

Zagros pride

Nowhere left to hide

Bridge

Heavy iron chords

Cutting like swords

Higher

Fierce fire

Red loom spinning

New life beginning

We stay

We pray

We never go away

Chorus

Daughter of the Zagros

Wild and wide

I have nothing to hide

Rising from the valley floor

Calling through the open door

Zagros blood

Zagros pride

Nowhere left to hide

Post-Chorus

Zagros

Zagros

Always

Zagros

Higher

Higher

I am the fire
