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
