Eloy - Mutiny lyrics

rate me

Your father told me I can stay,<br />

But he mistrusts my unfamiliar ways:<br />

He want's to use the things I've learnt<br />

Six hundred years of knowledge sorely earned.<br />

But if we can stay together,<br />

I don't mind the things he tells me:<br />

Of defending him in mutiny,<br />

I don't care if you're there, I don't care<br />

One the farms they've made a stand,<br />

Against the hated iron hands, they're uniting<br />

They're backed by everyone in town,<br />

And I must ride to beat them down, how they're fighting:<br />

But I understand their cause<br />

To fight against the laws, they're right:<br />

I promised to defend<br />

Your father to the end and fight<br />

The hatred's there in their eyes,<br />

They'll break his might it's no surprise if they do it:<br />

But I must take the other side<br />

And somehow learn to stand and fight, and come through it:<br />

Though there's little chance<br />

That I beat bow and lance, I must:<br />

Our love drives me on<br />

For you're the only one I can trust.
