History of Mercia

Gathered together, the feared men
in the banquet-hall were put on a bench assigned,
all were strong until we sat them down,
to call them out. A henchman attended,
carried a cup in hand,
served the clear liquor to the forgotten men.
And 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

Now the nights have grown cold,
the suns 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 heros revealed
grab your gear and lets lift these arms

I heard you say 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.

take everything we knew and put it in the past God has forgiven
them and so have I, but now we shall resign.
