Boudicca Cry

Motherland of mine
Once there was a time
You're heart was wild and free

How you've born and bled
To be given up for dead
But you've given life to me

And, when I am still, there is a voice
That emanates from your mysterious hills
As if someone said: "Never forget me..."

And now, with a Boudicca Cry
I will fight for your life
Not for cross, nor for crown
But for the love of the land

You can still be seen
Draped in evergreen
Behind the iron gates

Beyond the uniform
Of lion and unicorn
Liberty awaits

And yes, maybe I'll fall
But mountain and moor
Forest and field are a part of us all
They're so much to lose
There's too much to lose
There's too much to lose

And now, with a Boudicca Cry
I will fight for your life
Not for cross, nor for crown
But for the love of the land

Chariot carry me home
And I will build new rings of stone
I'll dance from the womb
Until the tomb

I'll find me a rock
From which can be wrought
Like the arc of the sun
A golden torc
And I'll wear it for you, I'll wear it for you

Through, the mists of time
A warrioress, courageous and proud
Holds her hands out to mine
And I'm trying to reach her
I'm trying to reach her

And I say now, with a Boudicca Cry
I will fight for your life
Not for cross, nor for crown
But for the love, oh the love

With a Boudicca Cry
I will fight for your life
Not for cross, nor for crown
But for the love of the land...
