The horses are restless, awake and aware
The whispering wind, someone is there
The firelight flickers, eyes open wide
The killer walks into the light
And I'm wondering, I'm thinking out loud
This is the price to be proud
This my defiance, glossolalia

You pick this moment to blemish our land
The throats of the innocent cut on command
All for the blood money and skins that you rob
The vigilant will learn to play God
If purpose and purity are part of me now
This is the price to be proud
This my defiance, hear my warrior cry

I give you this moment, I give you this prayer
I give you this honesty never given to me
I'm singing this louder, the faster I ride
I will take you down to the dark place, down, down, down

In my mind's eye, there is a war
The armies meet on hallowed ground
To fight and die for their honor
In my mind's eye, strange storms harrow me
And they're oppressive, seeking weakness

Have faith in me (in my mind's eye)
My eyes can see
What you really fear
My heart can feel
What you really want here (ah)

In my mind's eye

Have faith in me
I mark all my arrows
So you know they're from me
I pray they find your coward's soul

In my mind's eye, those who

In singular pain
You will pay for a nation
Whose only crime it was
To believe your lies
Hear my warrior cry

I bring you this moment, I bring you this dead one
I bring you this honesty never given to me
I'm singing this louder, the faster I ride
I will take you down to the dark place, dark place (hear my warrior cry)

I give you this moment, I give you this prayer
I give you this honesty never given to me
I'm singing this louder, the faster I ride
I will take you down
I will take you down
I will take you down to where you sent my father, my brother, my pride
