Verse
[G] [A] [G] [A]
All along the river
[G] [A] [D]
Chelmsford's army lay asleep,
[G] [A] [G] [A]
Come to crush the children of Mageba
[G] [A] [D]
Come to exact the realm's price for peace
[Bm] [G]
And in the morning as they saddled up to ride,
[Bm] [G] [A]
Their eyes shone with the fire and the steel
[Bm] [G]
The general told them of the task that lay ahead,
[Bm] [A] [G]
To bring the people of the sky to heel

Verse
[G] [A] [G] [A]
Mud and sweat on polished leather,
[G] [A] [D]
Warm rain seeping to the bone
[G] [A] [G] [A]
They rode through the seasons wet weather,
[G] [A] [D]
Straining for a glimpse of the foe
[Bm] [G]
Hopeless battalion destined to die,
[Bm] [G] [A]
Broken by the benders of kings
[Bm] [G]
Vainglorious general and victorian pride,
[Bm] [A] [G]
Would cost him and eight hundred men their lives

Verse
[G] [A] [G] [A]
They came to the side of the mountain
[G] [A] [D]
Scouts rode out to spy the land
[G] [A] [G] [A]
Even as the realm's soldiers lay resting
[G] [A] [D]
Mageba's forces were soon at hand
[Bm] [G]
And by the evening the vultures were wheeling
[Bm] [G] [A]
Above the ruins where the fallen lay
[Bm] [G]
An ancient song as old as the ashes
[Bm] [A] [G]
Echoed as Mageba's warriors marched away
