I saw Mandolin Orange live and Andrew said this is a song "about a horse". I take it as an ode to the Warhorse throughout the history of man. It's a beautiful song.
As a small side note: I read an interview where Andrew credited the Lord of the Rings as his inspiration for the lyrics.
@xdeevex Thanks for sharing, makes perfect sense. I've been hearing a more general metaphorical war-weariness in that song (I've even applied it in a sense to my own broken marriage), but now that you say war horse it's just that simple, plain as day. It's a hell of a nice song.

@xdeevex Correct, He was watching Lord of the Rings and had taken a few percocet due to injury. He laughs a bit when explaining the meaning behind the song, but the song itself is nothing to laugh at. It is amazingly written.

@xdeevex This makes total sense: The song's title is Cavalry ... and "Yet I remain nameless, the best friend the hero has known" -- his horse.
