I keep my horse at stable will's
Join my brothers in song
This attendant soul

Eyes a passing foal
If god has teeth i have none
Like a pirate prevail

Upon the silver raiding ships
Merciless men are few
From my horse's lips the song is sung

"you will be a sovereign"
From upon my horse's ears the crown is hung
"you will be a sovereign"

Your serrated head anoint our dead
Brutes disrobed and deft
Heads that for their honor roll

Rot under heaven's bowl
Above our saddle come to rest
Toes hang from the branch

A horse that waits for a rider's death
Never keep riding
I keep my horse at stable
