The Quiet Before The Storm Songtext
well men, according to our sources
our team of stealthy scouts riding the swiftest of horses
most of the lord's forces
will be here by morning showing no remorse
of course it's quite sooner than expected, this we all know
with our defense not yet perfected, we ain't ready, although
since you farmers first brought us here, i've seen you all grow
every skill we taught, you practiced, every order you'd follow
we gave you plenty of training and while you knew your time was waning
i could see your confidence gaining
so with our time remaining let's forget about complaining
and focus on campaigning
now, to be blunt, we have to hold every front
be aware of any stunt, like a wolf on the hunt
we'll use our knowledge of the land to our favor
our courage will not waver like we've never been braver

tonight, attend to your family lives
play with your kids and make love to your wives
get plenty of rest, i want you sharp as knives
in the morning, when the fate of your world arrives
and i can tell from your expressions that you're all still scared
you wish we had more sessions to be a little more prepared
but the size of your sword ain't always the whole story
you gotta have the heart if you wanna get the glory
these cats are comin' here to fight out of greed
they don't give a damn that you got families to feed
so don't forget what your fightin' for if you wanna succeed
be willin' to bleed, to defend the lives that you lead
so if you don't care about your homeland
or the house your grandfather built with his own hands
then you might as well just ride with the other side
as for the rest of you, let's show these suckas how we do
