History of Mercia

Gathered together The feared men in the banquet hall All were put on a bench set aside All were strong until we sat them down So-called out, out a henchman Attendant 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 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 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 (grab your gear) let's lift these arms I know 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 I know 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 You know they're coming after you You know they're coming after you You know they're coming after you And I'll 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 Take everything we knew and put it in the past God has forgiven them and so have I But now we shall resign Heroes revealed, glory to shame Heroes revealed, glory to shame, take in a cycle
