The Ballad of Ricky Battleaxe the Barbarian & the Freed Slaves of the Divine

Now we go on
Now we go on
We must go on now!
Running through the forest!
Running through the mountains!
Running through the valleys below!

Behind their coming
On horses running
Just look at the death in their eyes
Spear tips gleaming
Bloody banners streaming
The king's evil host has arrived

I look at my new people cry
See the total fear in their eyes
Watch as they frantically try to hide
Leaving me to look inside
I finally turn and make a stride
Leaving all my thoughts behind
Hands on my axe my only pride
I fight!

Feet far apart I wait leaning side to side
Got my axe in my hands
And my eyes peeled wide
A rider appears to my left
My axe appears in his mind
I watch his blood rain down

Here comes another
The very same way as before
Only this time my axe
Finds the legs of his horse
Then my axe falls down
Delivering killing blow
Another man lies dead

When does this end
All this bloodshed
I lift up my eyes and see the rest
Of the king's horde approaching me!

Another man falls
Another man dies
Their blood flows at my feet
Another man falls
Another man dies
The kings host runs in defeat

Now we go on
Now we go on
We must go on now!
Running through the forest!
Running through the mountains!
Running through the valleys below!

Gather all your worldly things
All of your hopes and dreams
Think of all your loved ones screams
As the king killed and gleaned
Now you have a chance to fight!
And win!

I will train you how to take a life
How to use a sword
And make sure that it bites
How to throw a spear
And be sure that it smites
And see men lie dead
When does this end
All this bloodshed
I lift up my eyes and see my new
Formed army waiting before me!

Now we go on
Now we go on
We must go on now!
Back through the forest!
Back through the mountains!
Back through the valleys below!

To every village ride
Recruiting all to our side
Watch as my army grows by the day
What will the mad king say
As I take his people away
Watch as my power grows!

Now we will fight
And we will die
In the hope of a new world formed
What will mothers say
As I lead their sons away
Will we rule the day
Or will we fall?

Now we go on
Now we go on
We must go on now!
Back through the forest!
Back through the mountains!
Back through the valleys below!

And this I promise to all my people
My dear friends
I ride with you unto the end
And I shall be there to see!
See!
See this king fall down
Dead!
