Lyrics
The dust of ages is settling down,
Upon my horse?s bony flanks.
And all the sages are in the ground,
Lying with those shining ranks.
Knight in armor, are you coming back?
To lead us on into the fray.
Knight in armor, are you coming back?
To lead us on into that victory day.
The walls and arches have tumbled down.
They form foundations for the fields.
The oaks and larches have gathered round.
And with their roots they grip the shields.
Knight in armor, are you coming back?
To lead us on into the fray.
Knight in armor, are you coming back?
To lead us on into that victory day.
The time has come for us to awake.
To open up our long closed eyes.
We must stand together
However long it may take.
We must heed the words of the wise.
Knight in armor, are you coming back?
To lead us on into the fray.
Knight in armor, are you coming back?
To lead us on into that victory day.
