Horses

(album: Higher Ground - 2016)

Nine black horses standing on a hill
Each without a saddle, still riding for a will
They don't eat or drink, hell they're barely standing still
Nine black horses day to day and nine black horses still

Nine white horses standing on a hill
Each with empty saddles, their reins pulled tight by a will
They don't shake or stir, no they stand strong and still
Nine white horse day to day, nine white horses still

The devil take your soul and drive it down into a shallow grave
The angels will pick you up and claim you if you are saved
One thing you have to do is pick your side
Saddle up and ride

Temptation is the breaker of a man
It'll haunt you faster than night falls across this land
You don't want your sins scarred upon your hands
Nine black horses day to day and nine black horses still

Salvation is a winding narrow road
The ground will start to break the faster that you go
You best watch your speed boy, sit back and take it slow
Nine white horse day to day, nine white horses still

The devil take your soul and drive it down into a shallow grave
The angels will pick you up and claim you if you are saved
One thing you have to do
The one thing you have to do is pick your side
Saddle up and ride
