Last Ride

Lyrics:

Give me the desert
Give me a sword of polished steel
Give me the horse flesh
And the spur upon my heel

I will don my mail
I will win or fail
And in failing find release
From this prison cell of peace

I know one thing
I know to kill with sword and lance
I know how to sing
When the battle lines advance

I have not had my fill
I have not lost my will
The lines keep tracing around my eyes
And I pray now at the sides

My body burns
My body's broken head to toe
My body yearns
There's only so far left to go

Sit inside these walls
And wander these dark halls
And while my sons march off to war
I see my life's fast-closing door

But not today
Not while I still draw broken breath
I'm for the brave
And for the glory of my death

I will put on my sword
And I will join this hoard
The devil take my swollen hand
I will ride once more upon the land

Ah yes that's it
Ah yes you're young and strong
Ah yes I see my eyes
In the mirror of your own

And we embrace like friends
And soon my ride shall end
Just lay me down nearby
To see the glory of the sky

Give me the desert
Give me a sword of polished steel
Give me the horse flesh
And the spur upon my heel

I will don my mail
I will win or fail
And in failing find release
From this prison cell of peace

Give me the desert
Give me a sword of polished steel
Give me the horse flesh
And the spur upon my heel

I will don my mail
I will win or fail
And in failing find release
From this prison cell, this prison cell of peace
