Valley Of The Shadow

Clanging of steel
The snapping of banners in the wind
Angry shouts ring out under clamor of man and beast
In the heat of mounting agitation
Thoughts that breathe and words that burn
In the core of my indignation
For this land I will fight
For my King I would walk the valley of the shadow
With chivalry as our crest
We unite in the common cause for which we’d lay down our lives
Onward toward the peaks
Climbing on through jagged terrain
The battle’s now begun — between the fatigue and dreams of destiny
The pace of our stride regenerates our passion
Surely God will lift us up
To ride on wings of victory
Sleep comes hard as I try to find
Comfort in the chill of a frozen bed
My very bones feel the stubborn ache
From this challenge … this arduous campaign
Down the Pyrenees
Even faster into Moorish lands
Eager for the feast that will crown our mighty deeds
Here at last … the city grows closer
Battle cries, as we strike
With the force of a raging wind
For this land I will fight
For my King I would walk the valley of the shadow
With Honor as my pledge
I will fight for my gracious King, yes give my life
Through the valley of the shadow
Shrouded in fears I’ve tried to ignore
My mind wanders through valleys of doubt
In my dreams, the chalice has been shattered
And apprehension fills the long, long night
Clanging of steel
The snapping of banners in the wind
Angry shouts ring out under clamor of man and beast
In the heat of mounting agitation
Thoughts that breathe and words that burn
In the core of my indignation
For this land I will fight
For my King I would walk the valley of the shadow
With chivalry as our crest
We unite in the common cause for which we’d lay down our lives
Through the valley of the shadow
Dreams I’ve been fighting for, striving for, dying for
Dreams I’ve been fighting for, living for, don’t shine anymore
