Goodby my love, I leave my fate to the king |
|
I must be off to battle, fortune it may bring |
|
Fortune for the nobles |
|
Death and Pain, life will be sold |
|
Goodby my love, I must fight and I may die |
|
The king is calling, I must obey |
|
why do we have to kill |
|
The Reaper laughs, I hear him still |
|
Screams above the battlefield |
|
Steel and Blood a fate is sealed |
|
The harvester of Death is out |
|
Can't you hear him scream aloud |
|
[Chorus:] |
|
Into the battle, into the battle |
|
Can't you hear the screams from flodden hill |
|
September the 3rd of fifteen thirteen |
|
We met the English at Flodden Hill |
|
God knows we gave it all |
|
A damned day, I saw many fall |
|
I stood with my king and he fought like hell |
|
Pierced with arrows, he finally fell |
|
With the king fell Scotland's Pride |
|
A damned day, so many died |
