YOU KNOW WHO STRIKES BACK

Words byZan, tune 'Looking For Jack' by Talis Kimberley

I haven't the measure of this battle yet
But I try to ignore all the beatings I get
It's 'Have at you, churl, try a pass if you dare!'
As if I could face them, as if I could care
I'm looking for someone, and he hasn't much time
For if he doesn't answer and come to my rescue, he's no knight of mine...

CHORUS
And where are you now, Jock of the Sword,
Jock of the Sword, where've you gone hiding,
You should have been here, I needed you here,
I need you here now, shouldn't have to go looking
For you...

On the morn of the battle you cut such a dash
And the sun made your armour plate glitter and flash
But soon as the foemen came over the hill
You somehow weren't there and I'm missing you still
I was told as a princeling 'You can trust a bold knight.'
But my faith and my armour are both shot to hell, and I don't think it's right...

CHORUS

Just three of us left and the banners all down
Soon the usurper will have his hands on the crown
Most of our allies are already gone
And they'll charge on this hilltop again before long
But I've just got one question, ere the Valkyrie rides
Did he run, was he captured, or wounded, or worse--did the bastard switch sides?

CHORUS
