lyrics

He faced the end of these days
The old and faded way
For the dying gods, he left them
From their halls he withdrew

Kneeling in defeat
As death looms in the air
A deafening gale wind blows
He took a sacred vow
Triumph brings the victory song
Of a thinly held peace
Every man will know this day
Of the king who kneels
Of the king who kneels

Drive them back in vengeance
For what they've done, we banish them
Drive them to submission
They shall never reign
They shall see defeat
Drive them to their dark lands
By the treacherous sea
Guilty hands to the oars

Soon we will end their rise
As a lightning fallen limb
As the twilight coming fast
As the daybreak fades the frost
Soon we will end their rise
As the shadow yields to flame
As the spring over winter grows
As the rebirth comes

Drive them back in vengeance
For what they've done, we banish them
Drive them to submission
They shall never reign
They shall see defeat
Drive them to their dark lands
By the treacherous sea
Guilty hands to the oars

Soon we will see the day
Of the harvest plentiful
Of a guarded sovereign home
Of a peaceful hope fulfilled
Soon we will see the end
Of a kingdom strained to be
Of a shield raised against the north
Of the sword beckoning to me
Of the sword beckoning to me

Chesterton’s, “The Ballad of the White Horse." It captures the inescapable misery and undeniable hope of the early middle ages; raiding hordes, mass migrations, and kingdoms rising through the discord. ... more
