Iron Horses and Silver Trails

Verse 1

Silver

On the saddle

Iron horses breathing heavy steam

The map is torn and bloody at the seams

Mountains

Cold

We move despite the hunger in our chests

No rest

No time for failing tests

Bitter

Cold

Black birds circle above the pine

Chorus

Onward we ride

Onward we ride

Across the valley floor

Beyond the wooden door

Onward we ride

Onward we ride

Post-Chorus

Heigh-ho

Heigh-ho

The hammer falls

The spirit calls

Verse 2

Dust

Choking the air

Leather creaking underneath our weight

The mud is pulling us toward our fate

Sunlight

Grey

I see the banner waving in the wind

Where we have sinned

Where we have finally pinned

Fear

High

The fortress walls are looming in the sky

Chorus

Onward we ride

Onward we ride

Across the valley floor

Beyond the wooden door

Onward we ride

Onward we ride

Post-Chorus

Heigh-ho

Heigh-ho

The hammer falls

The spirit calls

Bridge

Broken shields

Broken swords

Broken men

I came

I fought

I won

The crown is heavy

The crown is cold

The crown is ours

Chorus

Onward we ride

Onward we ride

Across the valley floor

Beyond the wooden door

Onward we ride

Onward we ride

Outro

Across the hills

Across the plains

Across the end

We ride

We ride

Silence falls on the metal path
