By the Sword - Slash, Andrew Stockdale

With the horses that you ride

And the feelings left inside

Comes a time you need to leave all that behind

Well they claim they’d like to know

Anyone could let it go

And the people gather 'round for the last show

Well there is a reward

To live and die by the sword

Well they tried to complicate you

But you left it all behind

All worldly possessions

Are left for recollection

And finally it’s all gone

They’re releasing all the hounds

What is lost can still be found

When you hop up off your feet, you’re on the ground

Well there’s some who choose to run

Following the setting sun

And now it seems the journey has begun

Well there is a reward

To live and die by the sword

Well they tried to complicate you

But you left it all behind

All worldly possessions

Are left for recollection

And finally it’s all gone

With the horses that you ride

And the feelings left inside

Comes a time you need to leave all that behind

Well there is a reward

To live and die by the sword

Well they tried to complicate you

But you left it all behind

All worldly possessions

Are left for recollection

And finally it’s all gone
