The archer's song

Text och musik: Rasmus Elleby

Skriven till Krigshjärtakampanjen, och i synnerhet till den Hessbrändska kulturen

Verse 1:

As many before me I've left my dear home

Outside of Hessbrand I started to roam

With my bow and my trade

my fortune was made

and my destiny was but my own


As a soldier I joined the Guild before spring

But the pay was anything but promising

When i fell on my rear

I did not not share a tear

But instead i started to sing


Refrain:

Dosn't matter if my pouch is empty

Or if there´s a crack in my skull

For my sorrows can never be plenty

As long as my quiver is full


Verse 2:

Was keps on a lookout all day and all night

Always prepared to engage in a fight

When it finally came

I was never the same

But i knew in my heart it was right


We travelled to fight a war in the south

and all that I earned I sent back to my house

But when i did see

Not much left for me

These words then came from my mouth


Refrain


Verse 3:

Now we stand in the ranks and we made quite a crowd

and for what we are we will always be proud

When facing the end

Our knees will not bend

Instead we will sing it out loud
