Ballad Of The Blight
A storm gathers near regardless of place
A tempest is toss'd in each brothers face
The birth of the land is the birth of the storm
The weather is cold and the war is too warm
Derry Down Down
Hey Derry Down
The front marches forth in both weather and war
Each battle is fought though there isn't a score
But more than their lives are lost in the fight
For after the war they must battle the blight
Derry Down Down
Hey Derry Down
The skells overtake each village they cross
All shells of themselves their souls are now lost
They spread 'cross the land like the armies up North
Devouring hope as the their blight goeth forth
Derry Down Down
Hey Derry Down
But other things spread through the body and mind
Diseases and Greed will both vanquish in kind
A fight for the wealthy is fought by the poor
And no soul is healthy when saddled with war
Derry Down Down
Hey Derry Down
Home is the reason all battles are fought
The horrors they wrought are not soon forgot
But a home built on bondage will never stand tall
And a land lost to Blight is certain to fall
Derry Down Down
Hey Derry Down
But a home built on bondage will never stand tall
And a land lost to Blight is certain to fall
Derry Down Down
Hey Derry Down
Derry Down Down
Hey Derry Down
A tempest is toss'd in each brothers face
The birth of the land is the birth of the storm
The weather is cold and the war is too warm
Derry Down Down
Hey Derry Down
The front marches forth in both weather and war
Each battle is fought though there isn't a score
But more than their lives are lost in the fight
For after the war they must battle the blight
Derry Down Down
Hey Derry Down
The skells overtake each village they cross
All shells of themselves their souls are now lost
They spread 'cross the land like the armies up North
Devouring hope as the their blight goeth forth
Derry Down Down
Hey Derry Down
But other things spread through the body and mind
Diseases and Greed will both vanquish in kind
A fight for the wealthy is fought by the poor
And no soul is healthy when saddled with war
Derry Down Down
Hey Derry Down
Home is the reason all battles are fought
The horrors they wrought are not soon forgot
But a home built on bondage will never stand tall
And a land lost to Blight is certain to fall
Derry Down Down
Hey Derry Down
But a home built on bondage will never stand tall
And a land lost to Blight is certain to fall
Derry Down Down
Hey Derry Down
Derry Down Down
Hey Derry Down
