Between the Fires of Dawn” (Extended Version)

Intro (spoken / half-sung, very slow, epic)
From the silence before the first sound,
From the shadow before the first flame,
The road begins to breathe.
And I answer the call.

Verse 1
The engine whispers ancient names,
Steel and fire inside my veins.
Black horizon, split by light,
Volcanoes waking in the night.

Ash like snow upon the air,
Stars are falling everywhere.
I don’t know what waits ahead,
But the road knows where I’m led.

Pre-Chorus 1
Every mile erases fear,
Every heartbeat pulls me near.

Something greater than my skin,
Something old begins within.

Chorus
I’m driving between the volcanoes,
Through rivers of shadow and flame,
The sky is exploding in colors,
And nothing will be the same.

I’m riding the pulse of the universe,
Neon dreams in the open air,
Between the fires of dawn and desire,
I feel alive everywhere.

Instrumental Break (short, rising tension)
(synth arpeggios + low brass echoes)

Verse 2
Mountains tower, black and wide,
Like silent gods on either side.
Lava veins beneath the ground,
A sleeping roar, a distant sound.

Mirrors catch the burning glow,
Red and gold in liquid flow.
Every turn, the world transforms,
Beauty born from violent storms.

Pre-Chorus 2
The earth is breathing, slow and deep,
Secrets it no longer keeps.

I’m no longer just passing through,
The road is passing into me.

Chorus
I’m driving between the volcanoes,
Through temples of smoke and light,
The earth is awake and watching,
As I disappear in the night.

I’m riding the pulse of the universe,
Bassline strong like gravity,
Between the fire and the future,
This moment is eternity.

Post-Chorus (chant-like, hypnotic)
Fire and motion,
Light and sound,
I was lost —
Now I’m found.

Verse 3 (more intimate, floating)
Time dissolves into the beat,
Past and future start to meet.
Every doubt is burning slow,
In the afterglow below.

I was small, I was afraid,
Of the choices that I made.
Now the night is wide and true,
And the sky is breaking through.

Pre-Chorus 3 (build-up)
I don’t need to understand,
I just place my heart in hands
Of the road, the fire, the sound —
Of the truth I’ve finally found.

Chorus (bigger, more euphoric)
I’m driving between the volcanoes,
Where the old gods learn to dance,
The sky is opening slowly,
Giving wonder one more chance.

I’m riding the pulse of the universe,
Stars aligned in my stereo,
Between the fires, the light, the motion —
This is where I’m meant to go.

Bridge (cosmic, minimal, dramatic pause)
Beyond fear.
Beyond name.
Beyond the end, beyond the flame.

The road knows who I am.

Instrumental Break (extended)
(solo synth melody, choir pads, distant brass hits)

Final Chorus (ultimate, triumphant)
I’m driving between the volcanoes,
Through the heart of the unknown,
Every mile is a revelation,
Every second carved in stone.

I’m riding the pulse of the universe,
No beginning, no goodbye,
Between the fire below my wheels
And the infinite sky.

Outro (slow fade, spoken)
From fire… to light.
From movement… to meaning.
The journey never ends —
It becomes.
