Cavalry

Intro: guitar / banjo Well, I've carried the world on my back with no more to obtain The fire in the sky-- a dim light in my eye that's long faded And I've stood where heroes have fallen their names turned to stone Yet I remain nameless, the best friend the hero has known Now I'm saving my strength for running These days I'm saving my strength for running From the age of kings when pride decided all fate Long before war machines took charge and I was still 'wake It was blind hope and blinders, with young men to carry between All the death and the glory; believin' they're one and the same Chorus Solo: mandoline + banjo (light guitar) Yes I've carried the world on my back with no more to obtain The sword and the shield perched upon saddles and reins But the stampedes of thunder, the cavalry's charge leaves me now Your last war will come but I can not follow you down Chorus I said these days I'm saving my strength for running
