I Ride On

Poem Commentary

A Maiden inspired song. Its meant to be very, very long, so the repetition isn't supposed to be so blatant, as it appears to be here.

I Ride On


Away toward the vale
'Neath a twisting gale
I ride on

Under the moon
With it's shimmering gloom
I ride on

Through lowland wood
Toward nothing good
I ride on

Off in the distance I see the light
The village is burning in the night
Young men slain litter the ground
Nothing but death here to be found

I ride on

Away toward the hills
My body now wills
I ride on

The path to the enemy
Is all I can see
I ride on

With sword in hand
I cross o'er the land
I ride on

A small outpost hidden in the hills
Approaching it gives me only chills
Coppery blood's scent taints the air
There is nothing but death there

I ride on

I ride on

With growing need
I increase my speed
I ride on

Up to the mountain
Toward the beast of sin
I ride on

It's land lies just ahead
One of shall soon lie dead
I ride on

Upon the peak the monster awaits
On approach I can hear the fates
Calling my name

Holding my blade in my hand
I leapt out to battle as I planned
Calling it's name

Hacking and slashing the night away
All the gods were with me that day
Screaming my name

A final strike and the monster is dead
I reach down and pick up it's head
Screaming it's name

And I,
I,
I ride on!

When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.

John F. Kennedy (1917-1963) Thirty-fifth President of the USA
