Bended Knee Lyrics by The Heavy Horses

With Darkness In My Eyes

2019

[Verse 1]
I heard the cavalry ride that day
My parents hid me and there I'd stay
Then those troops came, one by one
Men with honor, men with virtue, men with none
[Verse 2]
When they held her, I heard him cry
And when they butchered him, I watched her die
I shed no tears and vowed that day
Men would crumble, men would suffer, men would pay
[Chorus]
Before the war came, I was free
Then a darkness consumed me
The face of war is all I see
And I find no hope on bended knee
[Verse 3]
I kept my word as the years crept by
I slaughtered all to watch them die
I'd make them doubt, oh they believed
Men can marry, men can father, men can grieve
[Verse 4]
They'd beg their Lord, as I did my will
Their wives would scream and their children still
I heard their stories one by one
Men have prayers, men have regrets, I have none
[Chorus]
Before the war came, I was free
Now a darkness consumes me
I'm the last face men will see
And they waste their breath on bended knee
