Song information On this page you can read the lyrics of the song The Cruel War , by - Alasdair Roberts. Song from the album The Amber Gatherers, in the genre Иностранная авторская песняThe Cruel War |
| Before the cruel war was on, I was so strong |
| Now I am gaunt and drawn, now I am dying |
| And now the cruel war is on, she brings me a son |
| And I know some foreign one has been with her, lying |
| I know by his cradle cry, I know by his whine |
| I know by the black of his eye, he’s no son of mine |
| Now the cruel war is on, I must be ready |
| Though there’s no warlike bone in all my body |
| Though there’s no warlike bone in all my body |
| Now the cruel war is on, I must be ready |
| Be ready, be ready, I must be ready |
| Now the cruel war is on, I must be ready |
| But how can I fell my foe with only an unstrung bow? |
| How can the war be won as long as my blade’s unswung? |
| I’ll give you the grip of my hand, I’ll give you my word |
| He will come to his end on the end of your sword |
| I’ll give you my grip and word, you will be ready |
| I’ll give you my grip and word, you will be ready |
