Last Stand

When a horse is on his knee Don't shoot him till he stands One so proud, a final plea Is his to stay your hands Will you drag him when he's dead Should you tear his flesh and mane Leave him there to shed His glory in the rain For when the clouds have risen His figure leaves his voice Painted in the prison Of life without a choice
