Falconer - Mountain Men lyrics

Taxes raised by the union king
A blockade in his back for
The days of the wars
- No importation and no exportation
Is making the nation bleed
Yet the bailiffs demand their gold
The uprising is growing for every day
- The threatening, the torture
The killing of men
Is a plague that must now come to end
Once and for all mountain Men
Hear the call now! Fight tyranny's cold hand
Mountain Men from the harsh land!
Cast of your chains and the burning shackles
Fortresses they took one by one
With success came support from
The highborn class
- We grant you aid to dethrone
Our king for financial prosperity
The crown forced to negotiate
So they called for a council
Of all for estates-
- Now we elect you captain of the realm
So pull back your forces and return home
Old and worn, to be forgotten
Misled to the shade of the stage
But with a plan, he will return
Halfway to the council of the realm
Ambushed by rivals in disguise
He met his demise
By the blade of greed he fell down
Mountain Men heard the call and
Fought tyranny's cold hand mountain Men
From the harsh land
Cast their chains and the burning shackles
The King was dethroned and
Fled head over heels
And he ended his life in disgrace in piracy
