|
Motherland of mine |
|
Once there was a time |
|
You're heart was wild and free |
|
How you've born and bled |
|
To be given up for dead |
|
But you've given life to me |
|
And, when I am still, there is a voice |
|
That emanates from your mysterious hills |
|
As if someone said: "Never forget me..." |
|
And now, with a Boudicca Cry |
|
I will fight for your life |
|
Not for cross, nor for crown |
|
But for the love of the land |
|
You can still be seen |
|
Draped in evergreen |
|
Behind the iron gates |
|
Beyond the uniform |
|
Of lion and unicorn |
|
Liberty awaits |
|
And yes, maybe I'll fall |
|
But mountain and moor |
|
Forest and field are a part of us all |
|
They're so much to lose |
|
There's too much to lose |
|
There's too much to lose |
|
And now, with a Boudicca Cry |
|
I will fight for your life |
|
Not for cross, nor for crown |
|
But for the love of the land |
|
Chariot carry me home |
|
And I will build new rings of stone |
|
I'll dance from the womb |
|
Until the tomb |
|
I'll find me a rock |
|
From which can be wrought |
|
Like the arc of the sun |
|
A golden torc |
|
And I'll wear it for you, I'll wear it for you |
|
Through, the mists of time |
|
A warrioress, courageous and proud |
|
Holds her hands out to mine |
|
And I'm trying to reach her |
|
I'm trying to reach her |
|
And I say now, with a Boudicca Cry |
|
I will fight for your life |
|
Not for cross, nor for crown |
|
But for the love, oh the love |
|
With a Boudicca Cry |
|
I will fight for your life |
|
Not for cross, nor for crown |
|
But for the love of the land... |
