Last Words (Ruin's Ride) Lyrics

I was holding my saddle as the moon rose in the sky

We will answer the call for aid and we ride out tonight

Some say it isn't our fight and I myself have a wife and son at home

For what business has my blade

With the beasts at the white city's gates

But I will ride to ruin

Death calls and I shake my spear

In its grinning face

I will ride on to world's end

Even if it means that I'll never see you again

But who will answer our own call

Once all are gone and we stand alone

Shall I die then at my own hearth

With my son in my arms

Though it pierces my heart to say

I must fight and die far away

I pray the axe won't fall

So we must heed the call

So I will ride to ruin

Death calls and I answer

With death of my own

I will ride on to world's end

Even if it means that I'll never see you again

As the black host stretches endlessly before us

I feel my spear grip loosen, along with my resolve

I think of the stretching plains of home

And your face before them

I think then of our boy

Would that I could see him mount a steed himself

If you raise him as a rider, as I know you shall

He'll understand why I make my last charge

Here, on this

My final day

I ride into ruin

Death calls to take me home

I ride unto my world's end

Against the dark
