This Medieval Man has been put through some hell....and they are coming back.
Lyrics
Verse 1
Crimson in tall grass. Steel horseman, silvered black
While cursing you knew there was no one safe
They came from all sides, drawn swords and trampled lives.
With wine they stole your wives for royal play
Your world is all enflamed, better run for your life.
Is there no other way in these dangerous times
Verse 2
You had no chance And know they will come back
As you recall each tear upon her face
Bound in cold chains. Your every muscle strained
What could you do but watch and feel the rage
Your world is all enflamed, better run for your life.
Is theres no other way in these dangerous times.
Chorus
They sound like thunder, and soon they will be here.
You run for cover, its been too many years.
Tell all youre brothers, and make it very clear.
Unlike the others, you will not live in fear.
Lead (verse+chorus music)
Verse 3
One place to run to. Sadly its now just you.
Crude maps and plans as guides through forest trails.
No time for good-byes. Youve reached down deep inside
Night rains have given you your great escape.
Your world is all enflamed, better run for your life.
Is there no other way in these dangerous times
Chorus
