human fortress - border raid in lions march lyrics
[l: parcharidis / m: marquardt]
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]
