<br />
<br> Kidnapped and press ganged and taken from home <br />
<br> Brought to a foreign land scared and alone<br />
<br> I don’t know why I’m here or who I fight for<br />
<br> Why am I fighting another man's war?<br />
<br />
<br> ''So come on now with me boys sing a sad song''<br />
<br> ''We’ll all be dead before long''<br />
<br> ''Tomorrow’s the battle we’ll fight and we’ll die''<br />
<br> ''Raise up your horns to the sky''<br />
<br> ''Raise up your horns to the sky''<br />
<br />
<br> My sword and my shield are my only friends <br />
<br> Sending the foemen to untimely ends<br />
<br> Though I do not hate them I will end their lives <br />
<br> How many men won’t go home to their wives?<br />
<br />
<br> ''Come on now with me boys sing a sad song''<br />
<br> ''We’ll all be dead before long''<br />
<br> ''Tomorrow’s the battle we’ll fight and we’ll die''<br />
<br> ''Raise up your horns to the sky,''<br />
<br> ''Raise up your horns to the sky''<br />
<br />
<br> The enemy’s running we’ve beaten them down<br />
<br> Our knights killed their king and have taken his crown <br />
<br> Their women are crying, their soldiers lie dead<br />
<br> High on a pike rides their general’s head.<br />
<br />
<br> ''Come on now with me boys sing a brave song,''<br />
<br> ''This war will be won before long''<br />
<br> ''We’ve won a battle but there will be more''<br />
<br> ''Fight for the end of the war''<br />
<br> ''Fight for the end of the war.''<br />
<br />
<br> We’ve fought and we’ve raided for many’s the year <br />
<br> Marching to battle with no sign of fear<br />
<br> The foe cannot hold us so they shall all die<br />
<br> They’ll sing a sad song and raise horns to the sky.<br />
<br />
<br> ''Come on now with me boys sing a brave song,''<br />
<br> ''This war will be won before long''<br />
<br> ''We’ve won many battles the end has drawn nigh''<br />
<br> ''Raise up your horns to the sky,''<br />
<br> ''Raise up your horns to the sky''<br />
<br />
<br> Kidnapped and pressganged and taken back home<br />
<br> Back to a foreign land scared and alone<br />
<br> Everything’s different my homeland is gone<br />
<br> I’ll raise up my horn and I’ll sing a sad song<br />
<br />
<br> ''Come on now with me boys sing a sad song''<br />
<br> ''We’ll all be dead before long''<br />
<br> ''There’s nothing here for me it's time now to die''<br />
<br> ''Walk with me into the sky,''<br />
<br> ''Walk with me into the sky.''</div>Merry Otter
