The Battle Of Flodden Lyrics - Grave Digger

Goodby my love, I leave my fate to the king 

I must be off to battle, fortune it may bring 

Fortune for the nobles 

Death and Pain, life will be sold 

Goodby my love, I must fight and I may die 

The king is calling, I must obey 

why do we have to kill 

The Reaper laughs, I hear him still 

Screams above the battlefield 

Steel and Blood a fate si sealed 

The harvester of Death is out 

Can't you hear him scream aloud 

[Chorus:] 

Into the battle, into the battle 

Can't you hear the screams from flodden hill 

September the 3rd of fifteen thirteen 

We met the English at Flodden Hill 

God knows we gave it all 

A damned day, I saw many fall 

I stood with my king and he fought like hell 

Pierced with arrows, he finally fell 

With the king fell Scotland's Pride 

A damned day, so many died
