The Sword - The Black River lyrics
[The Sword - The Black River lyrics]
Great peril await's us beyond the Black River
Summoned by the beating of drums
Our number is few and our errand is dire
We do what must be done
At the bidding of the high priest
The tribes gather for war
Evil sorcery is unleashed
Upon the opposite shore
Make your stand with great hound
The frontier is lost
Black waters lie before you
Together you cross take heart!
Do not fear when you know
Your death nears
We shall build you a cairn
Beyond the Black River
Where no one will disturb your rest
There you shall lay in your
Helm and your harness
With your sword across your breast
Now, take a quick moment
To answer this question
As the ferry approaches the shore
Will you have the coin to
Pay for your passage
Or the courage to take up the oar?
Summoned by the beating of drums
Our number is few and our errand is dire
We do what must be done
At the bidding of the high priest
The tribes gather for war
Evil sorcery is unleashed
Upon the opposite shore
Make your stand with great hound
The frontier is lost
Black waters lie before you
Together you cross take heart!
Do not fear when you know
Your death nears
We shall build you a cairn
Beyond the Black River
Where no one will disturb your rest
There you shall lay in your
Helm and your harness
With your sword across your breast
Now, take a quick moment
To answer this question
As the ferry approaches the shore
Will you have the coin to
Pay for your passage
Or the courage to take up the oar?
