Stephen Ray Brown - Power and Glory

I made myself a promise
I would live without regret
And that's a promise
I know I could have never kept

I walk a well-worn path
Trod By others more bold than I
More brave, more cold
More worldly wise

They knew where there were going
Westward to a dark horizon far
Across bones and terror
They would bear the scars

While I would sit and wonder
At their adventures and their pain
Their hard-fought victories
Their valor, their great names

They did it for the power
For the glory
Their finest hour
This is their story

I would be the one at home alone
While they around the camp
With cups of dark wine and grim smiles
Told true tales lit by a fading lamp

The lies would come much later
In the songs we all would sing
Of those ones chosen by the gods
To deliver us our reckoning

They did it for the power
For the glory
For the power
For the glory
They did it for the power
For the glory
Their finest hour
This is their story
