Cavalry

Well, I've carried the world on my back with no more to obtain

The fire in the sky, a dim light in my eye that's long faded

And I've stood where heroes have fallen their names turned to stone

Yet I remain nameless, the best friend the hero has known

Now I'm saving my strength for running

These days I'm saving my strength for running

From the age of kings when pride decided all fate

Long before war machines took charge and I was still 'wake

It was blind hope and blinders, with young men to carry between

All the death and the glory, believin' they're one and the same

Now I'm saving my strength for running

These days I'm saving my strength for running

Yes I've carried the world on my back with no more to obtain

The sword and the shield perched upon saddles and reins

But the stampedes of thunder, the cavalry's charge leaves me now

Your last war will come but I can not follow you down

No, I'm saving my strength for running

These days I'm saving my strength for running

I said these days I'm saving my strength for running
