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
Refrain x2
