As a boy you carried a shield
The art of war you learned your craft
Baptized with blood on the field
Journey down a warrior’s path
Chorus
With war you’d win your fame
With sword you slaughtered your foes
Songs to remember your name
Death to those who oppose
Now a man, glory’s in your grasp
By ship and spear your legend grows
Break the lines plunge through the gap
On the field the blood begins to flow
Chorus
The die is cast the battle’s joined
The outcome on your blade.
Swords ring out and shields crash
Each victory brings you fame
After every foe you conquer
There’s always more
For a warrior’s path is eternal war
Chorus

Cast Away Cares

Here it comes and there it goes, the evening is before us
Everyone is all aboard, the night is young.
The door’s ajar and the barrel is sprung and all the boys are singing, the greatest song ever sung.
While we are here we drink ale and beer
Freely spend our money and pay our share
If need be, I’ll pay for a friend
Bartender make haste, let no time waste
Chorus
Cast away cares, you who love sorrow
It lengthens the day, won’t buy tomorrow
The money you save, you can’t take to your grave
We may not be here tomorrow
So we drink today and drown our sorrow
While we have breath, there’s no drink after death
Truth some say is found in sobriety
But water drinkers talk never worked for me.
When beer and ale goes down you only need to ask
About the honest truth I found at the bottom of the glass
Chorus
Here it comes and there it went, the dawn is before us
Everyone is still aboard, the night is done.
The door’s been closed, the barrel’s tapped and still the boys are singing, the greatest song ever sung
Chorus

I dreamed a dream the other night
My love, she came to me dressed in white
Her cheeks were wet, her eyes did weep
I dreamed a dream of her last night
Take me away, take me away, take me away from here
Chorus
Far across the sea, she waits, she waits, waits for me
The days pass by and still she haunts my dreams
I will return to face this dark destiny
She came to me at my bedside
Dressed in white, like some fair bride
A red red rose, she did wear
I dreamed of her last night
Take me away, take me away, take me away to her
Chorus
She made no sound, no word was said
That’s when I knew, my love was dead
Then I awoke, to my own scream
Home at last, not a dream
Chorus
