When the banners were called We had raised a mighty cheer Our forces had seemed so strong In the time that's pa**ed We have seen what we lost Our lives have been hard so long Now the conquerors have come tonight Do we fold or do we fight? Is the kingdom still worth fighting for? Up the gates! and let them in! So the siege is on We hunger and we quake in fear Not just soldiers fight the war Will we die in here? We're all afraid and can't recall The cause that we're starving for Now the conquerors have come tonight- Do we fold or do we fight? Is the kingdom still worth fighting for? Up the gates! and let them in! Though we pray to be relieved Our prayers are never heard Prayers are never heard Though we're promised that we're safe They lie with every word Lie with every word When the banners were called No one thought to doubt the cause Our leaders had seemed so strong Now we wait and hope and wonder Were we right or wrong? We'll only survive so long Now the conquerors have come tonight- Do we fold or do we fight? Is the kingdom still worth fighting for? Up the gates! and let them in! Up the gates!
