Border Raid in Lions March
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
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
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
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
We border raid
We border raid in Lions march
We border raid
We border raid in Lions march
Raid in Lions march
'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
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
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
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
We border raid
We border raid in Lions march
We border raid
We border raid in Lions march
Raid in Lions march
