War Horse from Balla Dear by Balla Dear

Rest evades me like a fox in chase, trying to hide but there is no place
The night is howling terror in the dark, melting down my candle laden heart

Can't run away in side this waking dream, my legs are the roots of an old dead tree
Gathering wind comes like an angry mob, Oh my soul is fading in the fog

(Pre-chorus)
Here I'm bound in shackles and chains, until the War Horse descends
Left here to die in that Earth-bound rain, until the War Horse descends

(Chorus)
He descends, from over the hill
Coming around the mountain
With Iron Will
He's coming swiftly
Ring them Bells
Oh my soul is lost and found, until the War Horse descends

Lords and Laymen come up from the ground, tooth and claw each other for a crown
I hereby witness that the crown won't save, for both go down together in the grave

I learned long ago the wayward road, far above the hidden WAY OF OLD
But I was told to go the ANCIENT PATH, so I gave up all I had, to have

Spied a horse out in the misty morn, his steamy breath hung in the cold forlorn
His eye was piercing through my wretched frame, a flickering window shuddered by a flame
