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
