Lyrics

They said my father died too young

That he died of a broken heart

Working on Hadrian's Wall

He built a wall around his heart


30 years on now I'm a guard

Up on Hadrian's Wall

Now I walk between mild castles

70 miles and the tale goes on


My wife and child live in the forts

7.3 miles apart

I wonder if I'll ever see them again

On Hadrian's Wall my heart is broken


Turret to turret I do patrol

Up on Hadrian's Wall

Cold, wet and soggy is this place

Northern winds blow and steal your soul


The northern tribes were real and the lads

It was a constant assault

Us Romans pled to keep those damn Celts away

Hadrian's Wall is where we fought


My wife and child live in the forts

7.3 miles apart

I wonder if I'll ever see them again

On Hadrian's Wall my heart is broken


We worked our fingers to the bone

Turned us to stone

Living on barely a ration of gruel

I think I'd rather be the mule


We're just pawns in a madman's game

Why'd they bother giving us a name

Bloodlust's all we've ever known

It's only a living if the empire grows


Nine years on I've been relieved of my post

Up on Hadrian's Wall

I crossed the channel of the angriest seas

With oars we battled and fought it


We landed on the shores of Germania

To fight the Visigoth army

I take a breath and I release my arrow

It goes straight through the heart


My wife and child live in the forts

7.3 miles apart

I wonder if I'll ever see them again

On Hadrian's Wall my heart is broken


I am old and grey

I left my heart on Hadrian's Wall

Just like my father before me

I left my heart on Hadrian's Wall


7.3 miles apart
