Glowing Sea Ride

[Verse 1]
They said stay back, sir
That beast owns the ash
But the Commonwealth's watchin'
And you don't fold fast

You hung that suit by the door
Put on iron and flame
Then you looked at the valley
And called out its name

[Pre-Chorus]
Past the broken roads
Past the sickened sand
You rode where the sun
Could burn a man

And the radio hissed
Like a warning prayer
You said, "I'm still standing
I can meet it there"

[Chorus]
Brave President
Brave President
Ride on through the smoke (ride on)
Brave President
Brave President
Bring that monster low (bring it down)

For the farms and the kids
For the cracked old land
Brave President
Take your stand

[Verse 2]
The sky went mean and green
Over blackened stone
Every step in that wasteland
Felt like walking home

The metal on your shoulders
Made a heavy hymn
But your heart kept marching
Right where fear grew dim

[Pre-Chorus]
Past the broken roads
Past the sickened sand
You rode where the sun
Could burn a man

And the radio hissed
Like a warning prayer
You said, "I'm still standing
I can meet it there"

[Chorus]
Brave President
Brave President
Ride on through the smoke (ride on)
Brave President
Brave President
Bring that monster low (bring it down)

For the farms and the kids
For the cracked old land
Brave President
Take your stand

[Bridge]
When that nightmare rose
With a howl so cold
You didn't turn away
You got steady and bold

One shot, one oath
One iron prayer
The Glowing Sea shook
When you met it there

[Final Chorus]
Brave President
Brave President
Ride on through the smoke (ride on)
Brave President
Brave President
Bring that monster low (bring it down)

For the farms and the kids
For the cracked old land
Brave President
Take your stand

Brave President
Brave President
You held the line tonight
Brave President
Brave President
Made the wasteland bright

For the farms and the kids
For the cracked old land
Brave President
Take your stand
