Dark Horse - 2022 Remastered Version

He was a soldier like them all
Marching to a noble drum
No power could break down his tall wall
His fortress of love around the Son
He was a raging ray of salt and light
And then he saw how they staged the fight
Now he's a dark horse gone wild

The following stallion of the herd
Running into the lead mare's words
Watching the torch burn in his eye
Ready to catch it, ready to die
He was a lamb snow soldier dressed to fight
Inherited wars of the bloodline
Now he's a dark horse gone wild

When the smoke clears, and the music fades away
Where will you be?
Tied in a holy war?
Now you've lost your friends
Lost yourself
Found yourself
Now you're a dark horse running wild

Rolling the hills like rolling days
He was a steam rolling train strong on his way
With a passionate engine set to race
Not a shadow of doubt showed on his face
He was a speeding gunshot in the night
But the echo slowed down by morning light
Now he's a dark horse gone wild

When the smoke clears, and the music fades away
Where will you be?
Lost like a zombie?
Now you've lost your friends
Lost yourself
Found yourself
Now you're a dark horse running wild

If to live is the lamb and to die is to gain
Offer him flowers and quiet the pain
UA or AWOL desertion, the same
He's not coming back, we'll cross out his name
Light up the stake and we'll throw out his sage
There will be tears, though he's on the same plane
But that boy's a dark horse
In the worst way

When the smoke clears, and the music fades away
Where will you be?
Tied up in a holy war?
Now you've lost your friends
Lost yourself
But found yourself
Now you are a dark horse running wild
