Dead In The Saddle Lyrics - Dead Moon

You used to carry the flag 

You were the soldier 

You used to head the point 

You were the older 

You used to fight for peace 

War was no stranger 

You used to walk the line 

Right into danger 

The wind cries 

Dead in the saddle 

You used to hold me up 

When you were younger 

You had the coldest eyes 

They put me under 

You weren't they only one 

Who felt like crying 

You weren't the only one 

Who felt like dying 

The wind dries 

Dead in the saddle 

You used to stare the night 

For distant thunder 

You used to have a look 

That made me wonder 

You held the hand of death 

When you rode into battle 

As you rode like the wind 

You could hear deaths rattle 

The wind cries 

Dead in the saddle
