I Ride Alone Lyrics

All I loved, I loved alone
Stole my past, I bowed my head in surrender
Acceptance of my grief
Through countless grim winters
Fostered wolves when they starved
Got eaten alive when they healed
But in the coldest storm I locked my door
And looked in the eyes those who came back and died

For the blood of my fights
For all those silent words
For all your unraised swords
I ride alone

Pale moon, floating grains of dust
Numb, oppressed
No winner nor victory
Ripped fortune
My life, laughter, my pain, pass away
Hatred, affraight, wretch
Piece by piece, tamed my monsters
Got an army, we'll rise to be

For the blood of my fights
For all those silents words
For all your unraised swords
I'm everything, everywhere, forever
I ride alone

[Whispers]
I took the hand you told me to hold
Respected the oath, swallowed each word
Inhale, each drop of my fears
Exhale, lungs filled in tears
Desecrated, drowned me
Treaded my turmoil, with your silence and deeds
Surrendered my corpse, these waves my grave
Despair, I remembered my awe
Emerged, forged my bones
In a cold white dagger, I'm ashore
Undead, gashed and fooled
Your forehead is wet, I'm sieging your door
Tell me the reason, tell me the reason
Why you blew me like dust
