Remenants of an Army Lyrics
Hold back the cavalry
Hold back, hold back the cavalry
Hold back, hold back the cavalry
Hold back, hold back the cavalry
Hold back, hold back the cavalry
Hold back, hold back the cavalry
This is all that's left
Another fine mess as our empire falls
On it's own rusting sword
I won't be surprised
Some things never change
Hold back, hold back the cavalry
The cavalry are gone
Hold back the cavalry
Hold back, hold back the cavalry
The empire will fall
Hold back the cavalry
The cavalry are gone
Hold back the cavalry
Hold back, hold back the cavalry
Hold back, hold back the cavalry
Hold back the cavalry, hold back the cavalry
Hold back, hold back the cavalry
Hold back, hold back the cavalry
Hold back, hold back the cavalry
Hold back, hold back the cavalry
Hold back, hold back the cavalry
Another fine mess as our empire falls
On it's own rusting sword
I won't be surprised
Some things never change
Hold back the cavalry
Hold back, hold back the cavalry
Hold back the cavalry
Hold back the cavalry
Hold back, hold back the cavalry
Hold back the cavalry, hold back the cavalry
