The Knight - Riding On

[Verse 1] Bitter loss - but the knight rides on The king lies dead - yet the knight rides on No gods to beg - still the knight rides on Alone and broken - but the knight rides on [Verse 2] To the thunder of the pounding drums Through the fire of a blood-red sun Past the scent of death on the wind Marching toward his soul’s dark end [Chorus] Bitter loss - but the knight rides on The king is dead - but the knight rides on No gods to hear - still the knight rides on Forsaken - yet the knight rides on [Instrumental Break] [Verse 3] Through the valley of a thousand shades Under trees whose roots drink graves In the shadow of the tombstone boughs The knight rides on - he rides somehow [Verse 4] Though the world crumbles into ash Though his kin lie deep in the past Though the god-king bleeds from the slain The knight rides on through endless pain He does not fall He rides through all [Bridge, Crushing Slow] Bitter loss - but the knight rides on The king is dead - but the knight rides on No gods to beg - still the knight rides on So alone - yet the knight rides on [Instrumental Break, Long, Driving] [Outro, Whisper-Growl Over Slow Breakdown] The knight rides on... The knight rides on... Through death, through ruin, through the storm... The knight rides on.
