War for War lyrics

Ridin' fast out of the sunset

Devils and horses advance

Thunder and lightning and honour

The army of saber and lance

Each man somber and focused

Each man looks to the fore

Death is the life we are living

Hungry for battle and war

War for war, saber in every fist

Where we were and are once more

Out of the dark and the mist

War for war, determined for victory

Over the line they drew there

Honour the cavalry

Howling for blood, the leaders

Into the soon-to-be dead

Chopping them down like leaves as

The grass of the field turns red

We are a band of brothers

Disdaining the cares of the Earth

All we have is each other

And that is all we are worth

War for war, the saber swings into the face

Shake the enemy to the core

Lost in the lust of the chase

War for war, we do not bend the knee

We are the worst of the best now

Honour the cavalry, cavalry

Reaving and laughing and slaying

Leather and metal and blood

How could anyone do it?

We did it the best that we could

Over the fields of corpses

Over the broken and maimed

Over the enemy's banners

Beaten and trampled and shamed

War for war, into the shot and the shell

Into battle we go once more

The standard-bearers of Hell

War for war, the best and last of the free

Sworn unto Armageddon

Honour the cavalry, cavalry
