[Verse 1]
Evenin’ settled soft and gold
On the fields of Smallwater
The Earl walked slow along the lane
With Mathew at his side
The boy had heard the stories told
Of dragons, flame, and fear
Of the day the sky broke open wide
And heroes filled the air
[Verse 2]
“Father, tell me one more time
Of the horse you used to ride.”
The Earl just smiled a quiet smile
With old days in his eyes
“When Lord Strongcastle fought the beast
Armageddon in the sky
And the iron ship came falling down
Like thunder from on high…”
“I saw a shadow cross the sun
A shape both dark and grand
The last great Weyhorse of the world
Who answered my command.”
[Chorus]
Oh Prophet walks the hidden ways
Where mortal trails are gone
Black as night but gentle-eyed
Like dusk before the dawn
He comes to hearts the world still needs
When courage must begin
Then fades beyond the silent roads
That wind through Weys unseen
[Verse 3]
The twilight breeze grew still and deep
The crickets hushed their song
A great black shape upon the hill
Came walking slow and strong
A stallion built like desert kings
Yet tall as mountain stone
Eyes that held a thousand roads
No mortal horse had known
The Earl stepped close with trembling hands
And laid them on his mane
Like greeting some old brother
Returned from distant plain
[Verse 4]
But then the mighty stallion bowed
Before the quiet boy
Mathew felt his heart beat hard
With fear and wonder joined
The Earl looked down and softly laughed
Though tears were in his eyes
“Son… he’s choosing you tonight
The way he chose me once.”
[Chorus]
Oh Prophet walks the hidden ways
Where mortal trails are gone
Black as night but gentle-eyed
Like dusk before the dawn
He comes to hearts the world still needs
When courage must begin
Then fades beyond the silent roads
That wind through Weys unseen
[Verse 5]
The Earl lifted Mathew carefully
Onto the stallion’s back
And Prophet stepped beyond the field
Onto the hidden track
They ran where secret pathways shine
Through places none can see
Past silver seas and distant lands
And mountains wild and free
He showed the boy the wonders first
Bright cities, rivers wide
Then darker lands where dragon thralls
Still ruled with fear and pride
[Bridge]
But steady as a guiding star
The Weyhorse held his way
As if to say the world was worth
The battles yet to face
[Verse 6]
Then softly by the Smallwater road
The great horse came once more
And set the boy beside his dad
The way he had before
The Earl pulled Mathew close to him
And held him strong and tight
“Son… I know the road you rode tonight
I rode that road one night.”
[Final Chorus]
Oh Prophet walks the hidden ways
Where mortal trails are gone
Black as night but gentle-eyed
Like dusk before the dawn
And when the world grows dark again
And hope grows thin and small
The Weyhorse rides the Weys once more
To answer courage’s call
[Outro]
The wind moved through the quiet fields
The stallion slipped away
But father, son, and waiting world
Know he will ride someday.
