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 steedSee the daylight lay in ashes - While the dead are stillHear the armies roar for freedom - On the blackened border hillThe Lion looks, looks across the plain - And questions battles in avoidable painHeaves a wistfull sigh - And wishes the battle, the battle was a lieArmy of some thousand fighting - Men climbed the frowning ridgeWith their flaming swords all drawn free - And their pennants at the kneeTheir waving of their banners - And the rattle of their spearsRisen to break the dominion - And bring peace for yearsNow at least I've come to see what my life is - Nothing's ended, it only begunAnd the brave victories that seemed so splendid - They were never, never really won[CHORUS]To border raid, to border raid in Lions marchThe battle smoke has fledJust after a century and a quarter pastTonightWe border raid - We border raid in Lions marchThe battle smoke has fledJust after a century and a quarter pastLord blessed by the dead[CHORUS]
