lyrics

Pick up your sword
Throw down your plow
The world is changing
It's changing now

And so it went
The herald's cry
The morning broke
As the warnings flew by

The guard gathered at the valley
On the safe fell of the dale
They lined up in their farmer's clothes
And what armour they could avail

The fear they felt was waning fast
Resolve welling in their hearts
When in the gap their foes appear
It was time for war to start

Blood spilled upon the hills
The shock of bone and blade
Great deeds were done that day
And many widows made

From the North
Black witches come
And from the East
Our enemy's sons

No time to waste
Yes, it's all true
They're coming for me
they're coming for you

The earth trembled from the fighting
The valley filled with smoke and ash
The dark host started to withdraw
That's when the wizards clashed

A black witch started chanting
Against the guard she cast her spell
Confusion set in amongst the men
Their real foes they could not tell

Blood spilled upon the hills
The shock of bone and blade
Great deeds were done that day
And many widows made

Grab your swords
Defend the town
Kill the bastards
Take their generals down

Be keen in judgement
Swift with your blade
You must rise up
If we're to be saved

It was a living nightmare
The spell having been cast
Friend killing friend
At this rate they won't last

As those who were watching
Threw their hands to the sky
There was a brilliant flash of light
That blinded everyone's eyes

Throw down your sword
And take a breath
The battle's over
You cheated death

Behold the fields
Where bodies lay
Mark the vision
Remember this day
