Grave Digger - The Battle Of Flodden lyrics

rate me

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 si 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
