Warsong Lyrics

We're all gathered here in this place

And I see that sad gray sullen look upon your face

I know our position is dire

So let's sing a tale to light your heart's fire

Many before us have faced down such foes

In fear's shadow, is where courage grows

So ride by the stars and I'll fight by your side

For we are the stone that will turn back the tide

Sing a Warsong

About the Heroes of Old

Sing a warsong

Of the brave and the bold

Sing a warsong

As we march to the drum of doom

March on we shant be impugned

The miles won't break us for we have this tune

These years have weighed great on my heart

By sword's sharpened edge we will end what we start

We are the ones they can't subjugate

We will be free and carnage is their fate

Be strong of mind and trust the ones at your back

There is no army that we cannot crack

Sing a Warsong

About the Heroes of Old

Sing a warsong

Of the brave and the bold

Sing a warsong

As we march to the drum of doom

There is no certainty of life

Only honor in our strife

But I know one thing when we win, live or die

The survivors shall tell tale

Over bread, meat, and ale

And the bard with his lute will start to wail

They'll sing a warsong

And they'll sing about you

They'll sing a warsong

More heroic than true

They'll sing a warsong

About our numbers few

And how we somehow pulled through

Today we bathe in their blood

They dream of gold they will choke in the mud

And for us all who lie slain

Make sure we get our posthumous acclaim

Sing a warsong

And remember that we were here

Sing a warsong

We live again in every cheer

Sing a warsong

So the children will know

That this is how we all come home
