the battle finally ends
a victory narrowly won
in fields of massacred friends
drenched in the enemies blood
ten thousand men left the capitol
one thousand soldiers ride home
a cavalcade led by a warrior king
nobly defending his throne
ah how I yearn
to return to the glories I've earned
to ride through the gates
in our battleworn plate
in a shower of petals as all celebrate
with trumpets and banners on high
in remembrance of those that have died
and to honour the sorrows of those that survived
those that still ride
to be known for all time
heroes
we're the heroes of lore
champions
champions of war
throughout the land belltowers ring
for the end of brutal campaign
and for thousands of years they shall sing
of the war that was won on this day
as the shattered procession continues
down the road from the gruesome frontiers
our names shall be carved into history
and remembered for thousands of years
ah how I yearn
to return to the glories I've earned
to ride through the gates
in our battleworn plate
in a shower of petals as all celebrate
with trumpets and banners on high
in remembrance of those that have died
and to honour the legend of those that survived
those that still ride
to be known for all time
heroes
we're the heroes of lore
champions
champions of war
