The Ride

(album: Legends - 2011)

HOO! The irons high
Let the thunder be our guide
And the water be our sanctuary
And the wind be on our side

The hooves are pounding
And the horns are sounding
As our torches light up the night
In shadows mourning
Ere the day is dawning
And the darkness is cast into light!

Horses are snorting
And the muscles aching
And sweat is running in our face
Hatred's boiling as the world is turning
Faster and faster speeds the race

And out of the shadows
And out of tire shades
From night to day and back again
Lo and behold! The riders of hate
As they ride on their crusades

HOO! The irons high
Let the thunder be our guide
And the water be our sanctuary
And the wind be on our side

HOO! Hear The Ride!
On the wings of wrath we fly
Into the crimson velvet skies
That shine in fiery eyes!

On the horizon a red sun is rising
And the enemy is now in sight
His force is great, we face a dire fate
Yet there is no end to this ride!

"Godspeed to you!
Our hearts must he true"
Says the general, and we obey
The last command for the final stand
Let the hammer of truth show the way!

And into the darkness
And into the night
Beyond the dawn awaits the fight
Lo and behold! The riders unite
A force in splendour, honour and might

HOO! The irons high
Let the thunder be our guide
And the water be our sanctuary
And the wind be on our side

HOO! Hear The Ride!
On the wings of wrath we fly
Into the crimson velvet skies
That shine in fiery eyes!
