Hold Back the Lightning
Ride out in midnight alone sword in hand Through wind and the rain and the sand Lightning strikes down to the road that he rides Empty cities fill his eyes Broken dreams wasting a life Lightning strikes as he rides away will he never return Lightning strikes as he walks away lonely tears fill his eyes Do you remember before times turned bad The women and children would play Then came the longships and changed all our lives For those will I ride avenge all the ones who have died Lightning strikes as he rides away will he never return Lightning strikes as he walks away lonely tears fill his eyes Out in the night they march, they fight Out in the cities of blood Wheels keep on turning day and night Forcing their way back home Ride out in midnight alone sword in hand Through wind and the rain and the sand Lightning strikes down to the road that he rides Empty cities fill his eyes Broken dreams wasting a life Lightning strikes as he rides away will he never return Lightning strikes as he walks away lonely tears fill his eyes

You win or lose but only this time Faces of death on my door I've made my mistakes and paid for it in blood You'll go the same way too if you take my road Eyes of a stranger will show you the way Living and dying's, just part of life's play Chains that trap you to an island in the sea No one there to set you free You say I'm the one to blame for it But it's too late to pick holes in another man's heart Of steel, of stone without blood or without soul You'd steal the shoes of a dead man just to make him cold Eyes of a stranger will show you the way Living and dying's, just part of life's play Chains that hold you to an island in the sea No one there to set you free If I ever see you again, I'm gonna bring you down Trapped in a cage at the bottom of the sea No one to see your face Eyes of a stranger will show you the way Living and dying's, just part of life's play Chains that drag you to my island in the sea No one there to set you free
