I saw the miracle and knew it was for me
I heard the voice inside, it told me "follow him"
And all my life has changed and feeling no regret
I left my home and field for quest for holy land
Sword in my hand
Dust in my throat
Riding with the king
Thousands miles
Scales on my chest
Riding with the king
And holy land we found and wonders of the world
And desert sun there was and prophecies been told
And proud men there were with valor and long blades
They did not have much admiration for crusades
Sword in my hand
Blood on the ground
Riding with the king
Thirst in my flesh
Sands burning white
Riding with the king
And in this bloody land
Beneath the sun
I swore to my dead comrades
I'm not going back.
But life is strange place with so many things at stake
And lots of prophecies are said for money's sake
And our foe proved way too daring and too skilled
We're riding back without flag but with the king
Shield on my back
Blood on the ground
Riding with the king
Graves left behind dead will not carp
Riding with the king
Never again I will be seen
Riding with the king
Children I'll tell
Never to be
Riding with the king
