The Lyrics
If the moat's in the way
You need surround to slay
They'll be a failure there unless you seige
Catapult must throw
And then walls go
A-nother manor we've took for our leige
We'll se-ver battlements
After we pitch our tents
We can't take them by force, but by guile
Duck the crossbow's aim
Evade the pitch all poured aflame
Destroy the peasants' toil and grain for some miles
When the keep we're within
I'm hopin when we win
To get the ransom of some really 'fat cows'
Sneak in the postern gate
And smite the sentinel's pate
That or the donjon, tunn'lin', undermine
Our fortress ingressin' a-spoil
"E-gress" drops burning oil
Adding excrement and midden bits, damn!
When the moat's spanned those missiles thicker flew
Timber door needs the battering ram
Knights fight good
I wish we could
Get this castle ever subdued now
Well, we've blocked the ways in
My hope they're soon starvin'
And steward is wishin' they'd yielded now
Mercen'ries good!
I wish we could
Get this castle ever subdued now
You need surround to slay
They'll be a failure there unless you seige
Catapult must throw
And then walls go
A-nother manor we've took for our leige
We'll se-ver battlements
After we pitch our tents
We can't take them by force, but by guile
Duck the crossbow's aim
Evade the pitch all poured aflame
Destroy the peasants' toil and grain for some miles
When the keep we're within
I'm hopin when we win
To get the ransom of some really 'fat cows'
Sneak in the postern gate
And smite the sentinel's pate
That or the donjon, tunn'lin', undermine
Our fortress ingressin' a-spoil
"E-gress" drops burning oil
Adding excrement and midden bits, damn!
When the moat's spanned those missiles thicker flew
Timber door needs the battering ram
Knights fight good
I wish we could
Get this castle ever subdued now
Well, we've blocked the ways in
My hope they're soon starvin'
And steward is wishin' they'd yielded now
Mercen'ries good!
I wish we could
Get this castle ever subdued now
