Ben Harper - I Ride At Dawn Lyrics






Like my father
And his father, and his father before
Watch the soil burn in the fire
War after war
Done things I didn't know I could
For the common good
Tomorrow I ride at dawn

Give a man a hundred years
And he'll want a hundred more
Give him a hundred choices
And he still chooses war
From Salem Poor to Genghis Khan
Tomorrow I ride at dawn

I was born for battle
I was born to bleed
I was born to help those who have dreams of being free
Brother stop your crying, sister dry your eyes
You'll hear my medals ringing from Shreveport to Shabagan
Tomorrow I ride at dawn

At first light, I march to battle
Not my own life, but brothers' I must save
And when you hear those pipes and drummers
You'll know I marched to glory or proudly to my grave
Tell my loved ones they must carry on
For tomorrow I ride at dawn

Tomorrow I ride at dawn
Tomorrow I ride at dawn
Tell my loved ones they must carry on
For tomorrow I ride at dawn

  12. S.... B....

    when people say that Battlefield: Hardline was terrible I just cringe at that because it is my personal favorite non-numbered battlefield game that has ever released. I cried full on when I found this song because of my indescribable love for Battlefield: Hardline, and just how emotional I got at the end and finding this song as meant so much for me. that you Ben, thank you Charlie, And thank you Hardline.

    Like my father
    And his father
    And his father before
    Watched the soil burn with fire
    War after war
    Done things I didn't know I could
    For the common good
    Tomorrow I ride at dawn

    Give a man a hundred years
    He'll want a hundred more
    Give him a hundred choices
    And he still chooses war
    From Salem poor to Genghis Kahn
    Tomorrow I ride at dawn

    I was born for battle
    I was born to bleed
    I was born to help those
    Who have dreams of being free
    Mother stop your crying
    Sister dry your eyes
    You'll hear my medals ringing
    From Shreveport to Sheberghan
    Tomorrow I ride at dawn

    At first light I march to battle
    Not my own life but my brothers I must save
    And when you hear those pipes and drummers
    You'll know I marched to glory or proudly to my grave
    Tell my loved ones they must carry on
    Tomorrow I ride at dawn

  27. L.... M....

    I don't really listen to blues music but damn this is a great sing! thank you BF Hardline for introducing me to it lol. first time I heard I kept getting killed purposely by the first two sentries just to hear it again haha.

  28. a.... a....

    Detective its up to u what u do with it

    a.... a....

    Always A clustefuck Nick aint it

    a.... a....

    Always a clusterfuck huh Mendoza

  29. G.... D....

    after one year, now i find this song! Battlefield Hardline

    G.... D....

    you're lucky, i had to go 3 years trying to find this song

  30. A.... T....

    I find it very ironic that this song is used for a video game where players are simulating war. it kind of goes against the message of the song.

    A.... T....

    It's not simulating war, game is about corrupt cops and drug lords

  31. S.... ....

    Nicholas Mendoza............More Criminal Than Cop

  32. B.... L....

    Easily one of the best songs I have ever heard

  33. B.... L....

    fucking good lord this song is good

  34. R.... P....

    Battlefield Hardline!!!!!

  35. B.... ....

    Great song to end Hardline!

  36. R.... J....

    Awesome choice of intro song in Hardline. Full of goosebumps cuz its way too epic.

    R.... J....

    that mission though was bad as fuck!!

    R.... J....

    @Kyle Mitchell LOL at least we got a nice song :\

  37. R.... D....

    tomorrow I kill at dawn...

  38. m.... ....

    i used this song in my custom song folder in *Metal Gear Phantom Pain* on pc, i can play it using the idroid while dodging bullets and returning fire to enemy soldiers and freeing my captured brothers in arms in the cold dawns of the afghan wilderness, ...... it would be great if it can be played on *Red Dead Redemption*, so you can listen while tracking your former partners in crime to bring them to corrupt justice for the sake of saving your family and having a hope of burying your haunting past for good

  39. m.... ....

    if only you can play this song when you drive one of your cars in multiplayer mode in bf hardline

  40. W.... M....

    Anyone have songs like this with the "prepare for battle" sense that this has?

  41. P.... ....

    Hardline soundtrack 10/10

  42. J.... J....

    The soundtrack, especially this song make up the Hardline campaign for me.

  43. R.... K....

    always the clusterfuck Mendoza

    R.... K....

    korey smith Is there any other way?

    R.... K....

    Sorry we missed the big score, man.

    R.... K....

    Maybe next time

    R.... K....

    Yeah man... Next time.

    R.... K....

    Next time

  44. j.... t....

    Blues yes but also soul cause that's where u feel it in your soul

  45. j.... s....

    what a sound,this is great

  46. A.... ....

    Can anyone else imagine this as the song used before the beginning of 'All Out War' in The Walking Dead? This would legit fit it perfect.

  47. d.... ....

    I came here from Hardline. It was by chance, since I was listening to the lyrics and I heard him keep on saying "I ride at dawn". So I looked it up, and found this. :D

    d.... ....

    somehow there is not a lot of info about this song, i had to ask around to find it, imagine if you can play this song from one of the cars in multiplayer

    d.... ....

    +mrwarmind It'd be amazing if they put it on the radio in multiplayer

    d.... ....

    @33Silence it will be epic, especially the words in the 3rd minute of the song

    d.... ....

    +mrwarmind Well, actually I think it'd fit better in BF1.

    d.... ....

    @33Silence I never thought of that. Yeah it will work very nice on bf1, but i doubt we will hear songs on multiplayer mode when driving vehicles. Maybe on the loading screen

  48. V.... ....

    If all goes well in a few years this will be the song I play as I drive into battle.

    V.... ....

    +33Silence Some people are just like that.

    V.... ....

    +VaultTheBeast Then God bless those people

    V.... ....

    +33Silence it ain't just about my country. it's about my brothers & sisters to my left, my right and what I leave behind me.

    V.... ....

    +United Gamer007 That as well

    V.... ....

    all of us, all a fuss... been on death row, now finally they know, I am justified, free and time to kill surrounds me... I have never played a video game, yet I have played for causes, and keeps. dawn comes after we the people... killers and no sleep.

  49. 2.... ....

    This should be on The Walking Dead

  50. P.... ....

    I wanna know them lyrics

  51. K.... ....

    +shane morrow- you brought me here lol

  52. S.... M....

    My YouTube history brought me here

  53. d.... ....

    Thank you Hardline and thank you Ben and Charlie..Respect.......amen...

  54. T.... L....

    Most people say that Battlefield Hardline was just plain awful, but I actually was really surprised by it. I liked it. Idk anyone else's opinion on it but comment whether you liked it or not

    T.... L....

    I thought the campaign was about as well-written as you can get for a shooter.

    T.... L....

    It was alright.

    T.... L....

    All that "Battlefield" did was take a break from military theme campaign stories, what was so wrong with that? The story of the title was epic, and if you play it right, you have the three styles of gameplay of your choice, 'Assault', 'Panther', or 'Ghost'.

    T.... L....

    Honestly at first I wasn’t all in. I even put it down for about a year without finishing it. But after I beat many other games I blew the dust off that game, popped it back in and literally loved it. Don’t know what I was thinking the first time round but replaying the campaign made me see it in a new light. And I loved it.

    T.... L....

    What are u talking bout bro hardline has always been my favorite 🖤

  55. D.... B....

    I love this song! So deep and strong. Here is my review of it. Check it out. http://redmusicreviews.blogspot.com/2016/02/i-ride-at-dawn-ben-harper-with-charlie.html

  68. C.... ....

    I like how everybody appears to be here because of battlefield :-)

  69. A.... S....

    História suco me dick

  70. F.... ....

    Battlefield Hardline has sooooooo good soundtracks!

    F.... ....

    @Aaron Happel but the game is absolute shite

    F.... ....

    +James Angels No it isn't dude. Come on, that's way harsh. It isn't a masterpiece, but it is a very good game.

    F.... ....

    +Juanito Alimaña I think people were expecting a fuller game for the price but overall I like it. But really, you can't expect DICE to pump out something as full scale as BF4 one year after another.

    F.... ....

    +King William My thoughts exactly! Everytime I play a game I ask people "so how did you like the campaign!" and they say "Oh i don't play single player". IMO that's not even an option in my mind. I use the singleplayer not just because its fun as hell but for practice for multiplayer. I don't start playing online until I beat the campaign which is usually pretty quick.

  71. C.... M....

    always a cluster fuck huh nick?

    C.... M....

    *huh mendoza*

    C.... M....

    yeah i realized i did it wrong right after i posted it

    C.... M....

    +Christopher Mathieu is there any other way?

    C.... M....

    @Donovan D *was

    C.... M....

    Christopher Mathieu always

    k.... k....

    hi how are you just recently beat the campaign again. Always hits the feels

    k.... k....

    Best music for the end

  73. m.... ....

    As terrible singleplayer, as fucking great this song

    m.... ....

    Single player is way better than BF4 story

    m.... ....

    +manishe3 still better than any cod game

    m.... ....

    At least it's better than any cod single player

    m.... ....

    better than BF4 story

  74. B.... G....

    How's your mother? Nick!

    B.... G....

    It would've been better if Nick said "How's your wife, Dawes?"

    B.... G....

    @Alex A then that would've been called Battlefield Jim Carryeline

    B.... G....

    +Alex A What he should've said is, you'll know soon enough.

  75. B.... G....

    Prepare for Battlefield hardline brought me here shit...
