           "The Last Ride"
This is our monument to fallen warriors
Whose blood is drenched across the land
So cold they sleep beneath their stones
Away from light of sun, stars and moon
Never to wake for their sins to atone
Until the Sun fails and the Moon is dead
Until their lord chooses to move his hand
Lifting them from dead seas and withered land.

Awaken now, and ride
Toward what's forgotten
What's left behind
Awaken tonight, and bid the stars farewell
Breathe the night
Ride, ride, ride, the last ride
Beneath a starlit sky
Out from the place you died
Ride...beyond the light
Out of darkness
Out of night!

The mist is gathering above the barrows
The horns, they beckon upon the winds
Farewell the mounds in which you slumber’d
Release the anguish, tis’ time to attune
Release your treasures, be not encumber’d
Your lord has chosen to lift his hand
Redeeming you from dead seas and withered land.
