Songtexte Cavalry - Mandolin Orange

Well, I've carried the world on my back, with no more to obtain
The fire in the sky, a dim light in my eye that's long faded
And I've stood where heroes have fallen, their names turned to stone
Yet I remain nameless, the best friend the hero has known

Now I'm saving my strength for running
These days I'm saving my strength for running

From the age of kings, when pride decided all fate
Long before war machines took charge and I was still 'wake
It was blind hope and blinders, with young men to carry between
All the death and the glory, believin' they're one and the same

Now I'm saving my strength for running
These days I'm saving my strength for running

Yes, I've carried the world on my back, with no more to obtain
The sword and the shield, perched upon saddles and reins
But the stampedes of thunder, the cavalry's charge leaves me now
Your last war will come, but I can not follow you down

No, I'm saving my strength for running
These days I'm saving my strength for running
I said, these days I'm saving my strength for running
