The horses are restless, awake and aware The whispering wind, someone is there The firelight flickers, eyes open wide The killer walks into the light And I'm wondering, I'm thinking out loud This is the price to be proud This my defiance, glossolalia You pick this moment to blemish our land The throats of the innocent cut on command All for the blood money and skins that you rob The vigilant will learn to play God If purpose and purity are part of me now This is the price to be proud This my defiance, hear my warrior cry I give you this moment, I give you this prayer I give you this honesty never given to me I'm singing this louder, the faster I ride I will take you down to the dark place, down, down, down In my mind's eye, there is a war The armies meet on hallowed ground To fight and die for their honor In my mind's eye, strange storms harrow me And they're oppressive, seeking weakness Have faith in me (in my mind's eye) My eyes can see What you really fear My heart can feel What you really want here (ah) In my mind's eye Have faith in me I mark all my arrows So you know they're from me I pray they find your coward's soul In my mind's eye, those who In singular pain You will pay for a nation Whose only crime it was To believe your lies Hear my warrior cry I bring you this moment, I bring you this dead one I bring you this honesty never given to me I'm singing this louder, the faster I ride I will take you down to the dark place, dark place (hear my warrior cry) I give you this moment, I give you this prayer I give you this honesty never given to me I'm singing this louder, the faster I ride I will take you down I will take you down I will take you down to where you sent my father, my brother, my pride
