Dust and noise fill the streets of this distant land
Chasing shadows of a world we don't understand
On that rooftop cigarettes beers and old songs
We're searching for a place where we still belong
Desert around caught in its embrace
Like in Vegas Bangkokor a lost place
As dawn lights the sky a spiritual call
Trying to escape but pulled in by it all
This city of fire and ice under desert skies
Old dreams awakenthey refuse to die
A taste of the past leaves a bittersweet trace
Harsh truths lie hidden in this city's embrace
We're outgrowing the past setting it free
Stepping forward to the life we're meant to lead
Beneath the beer garden lights on these concrete roads
The wind revives stories of magic and growth
Dusty skies echo dreams from days gone by
Fleeting moments of hope we once held so tight
This city of fire and ice under desert skies
Old dreams awakenthey refuse to die
A taste of the past leaves a bittersweet trace
Harsh truths lie hidden in this city's embrace
We're outgrowing the past setting it free
Stepping forward to the life we're meant to lead
In a whirlwind of longing and vivid charades
This restless land lingers in contrasts and shades
Fast steps on Seoul Streetit's time to move on
But its fire will follow long after I'm gone
This city of fire and ice under desert skies
Old dreams awakenthey refuse to die
A taste of the past leaves a bittersweet trace
Harsh truths lie hidden in this city's embrace
We're outgrowing the past setting it free
Stepping forward to the life we're meant to lead
Goodbye Sukhbaatar Square as the plane ascends
Dreams and doubts dissolve where the journey ends
We searched for a place where time stood still
But it marches on defying our will
