[Instrumental Intro]
[Verse 1]
Stub towers in the distance
Riders cross the blasted moor
Against the horizon
Fickle promises of treaty
Fatal harbingers of war, futile orisons
Swirl as one in this flight, this mad chase
This surge across the marshy mud landscape
Until the meaning is forgotten
[Refrain 1]
Hood masks the eager face, skin stretched and sallow
Headlong into the chilling night, as swift as any Arrow
[Verse 2]
Feet against the flagstones
Fingers scrabbling at the lock
Craving protection
"Sanctuary!" croaks a voice
Half-strangled by the shock of its rejection
Shot the bolt in the wall, rusted the key;
Now the echoes of all frightful memory
Intrude in the silence
[Verse 1]
Stub towers in the distance
Riders cross the blasted moor
Against the horizon
Fickle promises of treaty
Fatal harbingers of war, futile orisons
Swirl as one in this flight, this mad chase
This surge across the marshy mud landscape
Until the meaning is forgotten
[Refrain 1]
Hood masks the eager face, skin stretched and sallow
Headlong into the chilling night, as swift as any Arrow
[Verse 2]
Feet against the flagstones
Fingers scrabbling at the lock
Craving protection
"Sanctuary!" croaks a voice
Half-strangled by the shock of its rejection
Shot the bolt in the wall, rusted the key;
Now the echoes of all frightful memory
Intrude in the silence
