Horses With The Dead

Charles David Sharp


Ages ago four fiery steeds they came 
Battle bedecked for a war that bears no name 
Armor flies and dust clouds rise 
In aftermath the lone beasts raise their heads 

These are the horses with the dead 
I don't know where or why they ride 
But there is method to their maddening stride 
Horses with the dead 

Centuries pass and again they cross the hill 
And stop there on the same ground, green and clear 
Amidst unknown and nameless stones 
In quiet grace the horses bow their heads 

These are the horses with the dead 
I don't know where or why they ride 
But there is method to their maddening stride 
Horses with the dead 

Out from an Apocalyptic dream they ride 
Into the face of darkness they collide 
Thunder cries and lightning flies 
In majesty the horses raise their heads 

These are the horses with the dead 
I don't know where or why they ride 
But there is merhod to their maddening stride 
Horses with the dead
