The Battlefield
Sword and spear
Axe and bow
Armies on the march, you know
Flang'ed mace and catapult
Screaming in the blood tumult
Footman's lance and trumpet horn
Smell of death in the morn
Trebuchet, batt'ring rams
Slaught'ring foes like samite lambs
Killing fields washed with blood
Soldier's wading the crimson flood
A flying flag, a trumpet call
Heralding the enemy's fall
Announcing once for one and all
The coming of day o'er nighttime's pall
Back
