As the shadows vanish in light As the sun's rays banish the night I awake in abject fright Yesterday I fought for my kingdom To survive and reap all rewards To the victor go all the spoils On the field we met with a roar As the klaxons howled out our orders Far from the fight Beyond the night Glory awaits those who stand With conviction and might I sailed to these foreign shores Fought for my king And I hope to be fighting once more My guiding star shines a light I'll be the victor tonight Roar of thunder blackens the sky Our horsemen passing me by From above our arrows fly Decimate the army before us I have seen men writhing in pain I have seen them praying in vain I have cried for all those slain As the morning breaks, I awaken Far from the fight Beyond the night Glory awaits those who stand With conviction and might I sailed to these foreign shores Fought for my king And I hope to be fighting once more My guiding star shines a light I'll be the victor tonight
