This song is actually connected to a novel that I'm working on and will appear in it.
The horses agitated cries pierced the night
The travelers attempted to shush them
As they packed little for their flight
With the rest looking to the leader
The youngest prince felt the pressure
Of the hopeful people on his shoulders
And the knowledge that this was no pleasure
To be needed by the desperate
By the people whose spirits were broken
By cruel and unjust kings
Yet who were awoken
By a prince who had more to offer
And off they trotted to the new kingdom
On the darkest of nights
With their heads held high
Ready for their brightest days
They left as spirits filled with smog
Walking tirelessly without a care
As they banished their soul's fog
And the sun was more accepted
But hardships interrupted their rest
For the beasts came in droves
Yet everyone tried their best
And the enemies were driven back
And off they trotted to the new kingdom
On the darkest of nights
With their heads held high
Ready for their brightest days
Eventually they came to the new land
And peace settled over them
Everyone giving each other a hand
And prosperity was their reward
And off they trotted to the new kingdom
On the darkest of nights
With their heads held high
Ready for their brightest days

Nice. I can imagine a Sabaton style of metal song with these lyrics. If you want some music or ideas hit me up.
