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 Riding with the king Riding with the king
