Name: Ride Into Victory
Duration: P00H06M27S
Description: Ride Into Victory was written in about 2008 and has been the band's traditional live closing song for a long time, but for various reasons had never been professionally recorded or released prior to this album. Most literally it is basically just a song about a medieval battle, metaphorically about confronting overwhelming odds without fear and with the confidence of triumphing over adversity.

lyrics

Across the snowy plains, we're riding into battle
For many long hard days this path we have traveled
No gods are by our side, none are with us this night
There is no force to trust in but our own power and might
The bitter cold has taken life from many of our men
Famine and disease make death look just around the bend
And though the bitter elements have long been our plight
Into battle we will ride, we are ready for this fight

Chorus:
Now I hear the battle cries of the horde as their arrows fly
All around me men begin to die, yet still without fear I ride

Our strength of will is great and we have shown no mercy
Our foes have begged and pleaded but our hearts have proven icy
Never to forget the wrongs they have committed
All of them we slaughtered, and many were beheaded

Chorus

Now my enemies have tasted steel, and though no weakness have I revealed
Near to me I feel the reaper's breath, I shall die a glorious death
Now my enemies have tasted steel, and though no weakness have I revealed
Near to me I feel the reaper's breath, I shall die a glorious death
Now my enemies have tasted steel, and though no weakness have I revealed
Near to me I feel the reaper's breath, I shall die a glorious death

Into victory we ride with no fear that we may die
Into victory we ride, into victory we ride
Into victory we ride with no fear that we may die
Into victory we ride, into victory we ride
