Border Raid In Lions March Lyrics - Singles - Human Fortress

[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]
