Human Fortress - Border Raid in Lions March download song

Lyrics

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
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
