Last Stand


Last Stand


When a horse is on his knee


don't shoot him till he stands
;

one so proud, a final plea


is his to stay your hands

 

Will you drag him when he's dead
?

Should you tear his flesh and mane?


Leave him there to shed


his glory in the rain

 

For when the clouds have risen


his figure leaves his voice
,

painted in the prison


of life without a choice
