lyrics

In the wilderness
Under deep twilight skies
Weakness becomes might
As the scourge swallows whole

Beware the darkest night
A chill in every heart
Out of the mist comes death itself
Dancing a bloody dance
A fallen horse, a fallen rider
Here he leaves you
Trampled under distant foot
Upon his own ancient land

A shadowed man
Unbowed, unseen
Devising deceit
To uphold the claim

Giving fuel to every whisper
Giving rise to hidden sword

A scattered people in a ruined nation
Waiting for the rise of
The wandering king, shrouded in the wild
Waiting for the tides of war

Into the shadow land
Recall the blood stained past
A canopy of shame
In the wilderness
Under deep twilight skies
Weakness becomes might
As the scourge swallows whole

In the wilderness
Under deep twilight skies
Weakness becomes might
As the scourge swallows whole

May the barrows awaken
As if born anew
And stand in helm before us all
in iron covered doom
May the fleet of heaven
On angelic waves
Return our fallen brothers
unto their battle place

A shadowed man
Unbowed, unseen
Devising deceit
To uphold the claim

Giving rise to ancient valor
Giving heart to noble words

A scattered people in a ruined nation
Waiting for the rise of
The wandering king, shrouded in the wild
Waiting for the tides of war

We see the ruler of our realm
A weak and hollow shell
A venerable dominion, we will see vengeance in this hell
A venerable dominion, we will see vengeance in this hell

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
