Lyrics
Broadsword
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I see a dark sail on the horizon
Set under a blak cloud that hides the sun
Bring me my broadsword and clear understanding
Bring me my cross of gold as a talisman
Get up to the roundhouseon the cliff-top standing
Take women and children and bed them down
Bring me my broadsword and clear understanding
Bring me my cross of gold as a talisman
Bless with a hard hearth those who surround me
Bless the women and children who firm our hands
Put our backs to the north wind, hold fast by the river
Sweet memories to drive us on for the motherland
