Lyrics
Down came the hail, a frosty flail;
down fell the icy rain.
The torches flared with desperate light
And savage lightning stabbed the night
Which screamed like a soul in pain.
His black brow bound with clouds around,
The Landrost raised his hand.
“Be they so fair and strong and tall;
I'll crush these walls and golden halls
And I will rule this land.”
Their hearts aflame, defenders came
With staff and sword and bow
And bravely on the walls arrayed
Where Innail's maid stood unafraid
Before her stormy foe.
“Not all your might gives you the right
In our fair streets to tread,
And you'll not take this fearless town
For I'll cast down your iron crown
Or die,” the lady said.
Their hearts aflame, defenders came
With staff and sword and bow
And bravely on the walls arrayed
Where Innail's maid stood unafraid
Before her stormy foe.
“Not all your might gives you the right
In our fair streets to tread,
And you'll not take this fearless town
For I'll cast down your iron crown
Or die,” the lady said.
