Em
Out of the dark, into the light
Em
In the dawn of terrestrial birth
C
New-born yet older than time
Em
Conceived in the depths of the earth
Em
Though strange lay the waters from which they emerged
Em
They glanced upon the world as their own
C
Yet deep in their hearts they knew all the time
Em
That this was not really their home
Em C Am Em
So they rode on
Em C Am Em
Yes, they rode on
Em
On hidden roads, through barren wastelands
Em
Untrodden by both man and beast
C
From the distance their fire was gleaming
Em
Like a lamp amidst dark eternity
Em
A bitter moon hovered above them
Em
The night lit sole by its glow
C
From high in a sky of ominous dye
Em
In which dark clouds drifted slow
Em C Am Em
So they rode on
Em C Am Em
Yes, they rode on
Em
They rode with shut eyes as the sun rose
Em
Regardless of earth's vanity
C
But with wide open eyes, they paced the night
Em
And pondered its mysteries
Em
They sat at the crossroads with high and with low
Em
Yet neither could alter their course
C
Riches were offered unto them
Em
Yet indifferent and without remorse
Em C Am Em
So they rode on
Em C Am Em
Yes, they rode on
Em
And each lonely vagrant that crossed their path
D
Felt how his heart grew cold
C
Yet be marvelled at their scarred faces
Em
So beautiful, distant and old
Em
Some say they've heard them singing
D
In strange tongues of melancholy
C
Of the gods, of the night, and of glory
Em
Of the dead, and their memory
Em C Am Em
So they rode on
Em C Am Em
Yes, they rode on
Em D
Say goodbye to the light
C Em
Come twilight, come dark night
Em D
Say goodbye to the light
C Em
Come twilight, come dark night
Em
Could you have rode there with them?
D
Would you have joined their march?
C
Or would you have them ride on?
Em
Away into the dark?
Em
Would you have been able to let go?
D
Of illusions of right and of wrong?
C
And if they came to die
Em
Would you have rode on?
