To Enter My House Justified

A blight on the horizon

The neighing mare looks to the ground

A passing cloud like passing time

The shadows far and wide

There, beyond the reaches

I see the coming storm, I know not where

I can find shelter, or sense of home to be at peace

All I was (All I was)

All I was seems to slip away into nothing

All I want (All I want)

All I want is a place to call home

Sing your story, the song of trodden men

For all to see, for those who held your name

No saviors, no glory, a last shred of valor left

We are the lone, the lost men on the plains

Rider, rider, who are you running from?

What is your name worth to you

And what you've done?

Carve out your name before time can forget

Across the sky, a bitter history

Carry your shame, your deeds can't be undone

We are the lost, the sons of nameless graves

Oh lonesome rider, lay down your guns

This world has left you behind, time has won

Just one of endless sons of the frontier

The time has passed me by

Only one hope left to cling to

To enter my house justified

All those who bore, who bore my name

Will live and end, will end the same

The paths we walk reach far and wide

The paths we tread on which we'll die

The paths will never forgive me

Or trade the future for a dream
