Ridin fast out of the sunset,
|
Devils and horses advance,
|
Thunder and lightning and honour,
|
The army of saber and lance,
|
Every man somber and focused,
|
Each man looks to the fore,
|
Death is the life we are living,
|
Hungry for battle and war,
|
War for War, saber in every fist,
|
Where we were and are once more,
|
Out of the dark and the mist,
|
War for War. Determined for victory,
|
Over the line they drew there,
|
Honour the cavalry.
|
|
Howling for blood, the leaders,
|
Into the soon-to-be dead,
|
Chopping them down like leaves as,
|
The grass of the field turns red,
|
We are a band of brothers,
|
Disdaining the cares of the earth,
|
All we have is each other,
|
And that is all we are worth,
|
War for War, the saber swings into the face,
|
Shake the enemy to the core,
|
Lost in the lust of the chase.
|
|
War for War, we do not bend the knee,
|
We are the worst of the best now,
|
Honour the cavalry.
|
|
Reaving and laughing and slaying,
|
Leather and metal and blood,
|
How could anyone do it.
|
|
We did it the best that we could,
|
Over the fields of corpses,
|
Over the broken and maimed,
|
Over the enemy's banners, beaten and trampled and shamed.
|
|
War for War, into the shot and the shell,
|
Into battle we go once more,
|
The standard-bearers of Hell,
|
War for War, the best and last of the free,
|
Sworn unto Armageddon,
|
Honour the cavalry.
