[Verse 1]
Captain, the horseman, and hound south traveling slowly
My loyalty to crossroads and thresholds
Comes with my rising hope to leave this hunt unfollowed

[Verse 2]
My blood's courage courses to rendezvous
With freedom
With freedom
With freedom
With freedom

[Verse 3]
I swore nothing in my passing (in my passing, in my passing)
Oh, to die like surrender would teach me a lesson
“Judas”, they too would cry
Oh, oriole in the mile before dawn
Do not return a treasonous song unguarded
