Border Raid In Lions March 歌詞

When the lion arrived, the war did start - a wicked day, indeed 'cause sweat and blood abounded - from all men and steed See the daylight lay in ashes - while the dead are still Hear the armies roar for freedom - on the blackened border hill The lion looks, looks across the plain - and questions battles in avoidable pain Heaves a wistfull sigh - and wishes the battle, the battle was a lie Army of some thousand fighting - men climbed the frowning ridge With their flaming swords all drawn free - and their pennants at the knee Their waving of their banners - and the rattle of their spears Risen to break the dominion - and bring peace for years Now at least i've come to see what my life is - nothing's ended, it only begun And the brave victories that seemed so splendid - they were never, never really won [chorus] To border raid, to border raid in lions march The battle smoke has fled Just after a century and a quarter past Tonight We border raid - we border raid in lions march The battle smoke has fled Just after a century and a quarter past Lord blessed by the dead [chorus]
