about

STEVE MONTOYA:

"THIS IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE SONGS ON THE ALBUM AND IT’S BECAUSE IT IS REALLY MY SONG AND I HAD TO FIGHT AND DEFEND IT TO MAKE IT HAPPEN WITH THE BAND. IT WAS KIND OF MELLOW IN THE BEGINNING AND THE GUYS DIDN’T WANT TO GET INTO IT. I THINK I CAME UP WITH THIS IDEA AROUND THE TIME OF THE LORD OF THE RINGS MOVIES WERE OUT AND I HAD LOTS OF IDEAS OF THINGS LIKE SWORD FIGHTING IN MY HEAD. IT’S A SONG ABOUT A GUY WHO IS BEING CHASED AS HE IS ON A MISSION TO GET HIS ARMY TO COME BACK AND PROTECT THE CASTLE. WHEN HE FINALLY GETS THEM TOGETHER, THEY TURN AROUND AND CHASE THE OTHER ARMY THAT HAD BEEN CHASING HIM. SO THERE’S A LITTLE SWITCH OF GAME PLAY."

lyrics

We need one brave warrior to set out alone
Head to the west shore
Bring our army home

Lead by the sunset your journey is long
Across the horizon you must be strong

So ride
Through the valley of deception, ride
Across the desert of pain, ride
With determination, ride
Don't make your trip in vain

Hot on your trail trying to prevail is the enemy
You must survive, got to stay alive
That's reality

Hell on the left, storm on the right
Still your bound to travel through the night

So ride
Through the valley of deception, ride
Across the desert of pain, ride
With determination, ride
Don't make your trip in vain

Be on your guard though your ride is hard
Chosen to defend
Over the top with no time to stop
Till you reach the end

Be on your way, saving the day
You shall be the hunter not the prey

So ride
Through the valley of deception, ride
Across the desert of pain, ride
With determination, ride
Don't make your trip in vain
