Steel like a streak of sun Cutting through the storm wind With naked sword held high He called the hearts long broken From doubt and the dark he rode And something in us opened [Verse 2] Glow in the far-off east Gold in the rim of cloud Hush on the watching fields Fear in the sleeping town He did not wait for courage He sang until it came His voice ahead of the hoofbeats His name ahead of his name [Chorus] From doubt and the dark he rode Singing into morning (oh!) Steel like a streak of sun Cutting through the storm wind With naked sword held high He broke the spell unspoken From doubt and the dark he rode And something in us opened [Bridge] We were the ones who trembled We were the ashes and stone He was a man made mortal Who would not ride alone Hearing his rough song rising We found our own reply Hope like a shout of thunder Thrown back against the sky [Chorus] From doubt and the dark he rode Singing into morning (hey!) Steel like a streak of sun Cutting through the storm wind With naked sword held high He named the day our token From doubt and the dark he rode And something in us opened
