Verse 1
in the fading light
Riders stormed away
And their legacy
Lasts until this day
Riding with their banner
To a foreign shore
Taking all our hopes
“It’s worth fighting for”
Chorus
And now as I run away
And call out your name
Feeling the warmth of new light
Can I bear (all) this shame
And now as I run away
I fall just the same
Verse 2
As survivors gather
Left to count the score
And their leaders scatter
They don’t care any more
As the night time shatters
Any sense of right
And their children wonder
What reason there is to fight
