History of Mercia

Gathered together,
The feared men in the banquet-hall
All Were put on a bench assigned,
All were strong until we sat them down,
To call them out. A henchman attended,
With a cup in hand,
Served the clear liquor to the forgotten men.
Then these words were sang to me,

Heroes revealed,
No glory to the shame, take it all aside and
Show me your face, just once again
Heroes revealed.

Heroes revealed, no glory to shame,
Take it all aside, show me your face

Now the nights have grown cold,
The sun's gone without a trace,
These are all men of glory and fame.
They'll go to their homes, to be with
Their kids, but once a hero's revealed
Grab your gear and lets lift these arms

I heard you say you're coming back to fight them off,
You know they're coming after you,
Save us from this open wound we call weakness,
You know they're coming after you.
2x

You know they're coming after you
You know they're coming after you
You know they're coming after you
You know they're coming after you

That i be running back to you

Take everything we knew and put it in the past God has Forgiven them and so have I,
But now we shall resign.
