Aephanemer - Strider

Lyrics to Strider by Aephanemer

[Verse 1] Let me tell you my story, my young fellows Sheltered by this new moon night I was not always this broken and old My veins have once throbbed with life [Verse 2] A strange day came when I learned by chance That each bit of my flesh and bones Did not belong to me alone, but to a man Who had claimed me as his own [Pre-Chorus 1] So, I raced, swifter than any of my peers In longer strides Every day that dawned on my serving years Until the fatal ride [Chorus] Whether we are hindеred by chains Or a burden under which othеrs bend Our nature is one and the same We run forward until the end [Verse 3] My unfortunate story does not end there A broken horse, almost dead I've kept on toiling for someone else's welfare Still standing on my four legs [Verse 4] Soon the day will come when I'll be led apart And each piece of my flesh and bones Will no longer belong to me, nor to one man But to any beast on the prowl [Pre-Chorus 2] This is how I will die and then disappear Under the moon My owner's buried body, covered with tears Will be of no use [Chorus] Whether we are hindered by chains Or a burden under which others bend Our nature is one and the same We keep running until the end
