I ride to the gate
a guardian's fate
honored defender I wield
the sword and the shield
you will only take them
from my cold dead hands

I want to live
this life that I give will
never be taken

Now the enemy rides
like a deepening tide
I will not fall back or yield
the sword and the shield
you will only take them from my
cold dead hands

I want to live
this life that I give
will never be taken
Ride to the fight
kill to live
fade into the night
it's your life that's taken

Look deep in the eyes of forces of power
as soon you trust them they start to devour
this time on the earth is but wasted, forsaken
when reason for life only comes when it's taken
take it away

From my cold dead hands
and into the grave
this life that I gave
it was never taken
NO
