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]
