High Over Helena

[Sultan 3953]

 

High over Helena, the battle of no return
Remus ranked his Imperials all in good order
Down on the other side - fifty divisions wide
Joey had brought his men over the border
Armoured from head to fist, glimpsed through the morning mist
Soldiers of Remus Godfrey awaiting the order
Down on the lower ground, trumpets and bugles sound
Joey of Heanse had crossed over the border

 

Proud was the Pretender, loud did his harpists sing
Scatter the Renatians all in disorder
'Death' shouted Remus Godfrey, 'Death ne'er we sign a truce
Chase the Pretender back o'er the border
'Now' shouted Godfrey the Emperor 'We'll either die or win
Into the enemy striking good order
Glory for Renatus and death to pretty Joey's band.
Chase the Pretender back o'er the border.

 

Face to face across Helena;
Spears and swords are held in good order.
Lines of steel in waves begin to move,
Grim and steady to die for the border.
'On them! On them!' hear the Donald shout.
'Smash their ranks in utter disorder'.
Shields and spears and swords together clash.
Screams of death are heard o'er the border.

 

Slashing and clashing Helana flows with blood.
Horses and soldiers in mangled disorder.
Yelling and felling the streets in a gory red.
Out with the Pretender. Out o'er the border.
Glory and right was the slogan of Remus Godrey.
Chains for the slaves shouted Joey of Heanse.
Death to the Pretender, we'll be glorious.
Chase the Pretender back o'er the border.
Chase the Pretender back o'er the border.

 

… Over the border, we come!
