Lament Of The Forgotten King Part 2 - Band Of Brothers

from Keep Away From Heat by Tony Castellano

/

about

This was the first of the five songs in the concept suite to be written on my new electric 12-string guitar.

lyrics

he passed his scepter down with it’s ill-begotten crown and father left me with this rule the kingdom’s fool should I have iron fist or run off in the midst of all that’s come since I’ve begun this hero’s son what will become if we fall the pressure burns right through my ears but no one ever seems to hear I must be what they want of me this noble thing this princely king but the dogs are at the door and they won’t stop ‘til there’s war they’ve pushed up up onto the wall we’ll bring them to Valhalla’s hall so I must say war so kiss your children’s mothers grab weapons banners brothers to the fields may God we wield this hallowed fight on ‘morrow’s night we’ll march with all our glory someday they’ll tell the story the battle cry that would not die the voice of men with pride within rally brave men your voices within do it for kingdom country and kin but the evil’s at the gate should we leave this fight to fate their mighty forces beat the drums soon their silence henceforth come for peace must have war so kiss your children’s mothers come join our band of brothers to the fields may God we wield this hallowed fight on ‘morrow’s night we’ll march with all our glory someday they’ll tell the story the battle cry that would not die the voice of men with pride within rally brave men your voices within do it for kingdom country and kin
