Steel and Gold Palm

Verse 1

Thackeray sands

Beneath the copper crown of the sky

Winds howling hard through the ruined hills

Cold red dust is getting in my eyes

Thirsty for a drop of water in the dead sea

Left a lonely lady in the desert debris

Watch the suns dive low

Where the wicked grow

Pre-Chorus

Broken hills are breathing

Broken blades are bleeding

Broken queens are leading

Now let us run

Chorus

Daughters of Helium

Daughters of Helium

Steel in the waist and gold in the palm

Daughters of Helium

Red dirt under my feet

I find my soul on this lonely street

Post-Chorus

Hey hey

The red dust stays

Hey hey

Verse 2

Riding through the pillars

Ancient ghosts start to stir in the gate

Thoris is calling us home tonight

Told the captain that he had to wait

Tough luck

Moving through the shadow of the tall spires

Keep on lighting up those green temple fires

I want to live fast

Far beyond the past

Pre-Chorus

Ancient kings are falling

Ancient kin are calling

Ancient tides are stalling

Now let us run

Chorus

Daughters of Helium

Daughters of Helium

Steel in the waist and gold in the palm

Daughters of Helium

Red dirt under my feet

I find my soul on this lonely street

Post-Chorus

Hey hey

The red dust stays

Hey hey

Bridge

Twisted canyons

Twisted fate

Twisted words before the state

I walked

I fought

I won

On the sand

In the sun

Until it was done

Chorus

Daughters of Helium

Daughters of Helium

Steel in the waist and gold in the palm

Daughters of Helium

Red dirt under my feet

I find my soul on this lonely street

Chorus

Daughters of Helium

Daughters of Helium

Steel in the waist and gold in the palm

Daughters of Helium

Red dirt under my feet

I find my soul on this lonely street
