OVER THE HILLS AND FAR AWAY

Chorus:

Over the hills and far away
To ride though ice and snow and rain
The Hierophant must be obeyed
Over the hills and far away

When duty calls me I must go
To stand and face another foe
and part of me will always stray
Over the hills and far away

Mid smoke and fire and shot and shell,
And to the very walls of hell,
But we shall stand and we shall stay
Over the hills and far away

Though I may travel far from home
I shall never be alone,
And you are with me night and day
Over the hills and far away

If I should fall to rise no more,
As many comrades did before,
Ask the pipes and drums to play
Over the hills and far away

Then fall in lads behind the drum
With colours blazing like the sun.
Along the road to come what may
Over the hills and far away

When Evil stalks upon the land
I'll neither hold nor stay me hand
But fight to win a better day,
Over the hills and far away

Now I have crossed the Maelstrom
To see a New World that's begun
I hope to go back home one day
Over the hills and far away.
