| Bold Marauder
|
| By: Richard Farina
|
| It’s hi, ho, hey, I am the bold marauder!
|
| It’s hi, ho, hey, I am the white destroyer!
|
| For I will buy you silver and gold and I will bring you treasure,
|
| And I will bring a widowing flag and I will be your lover;
|
| And I will show you grotto and cave and sacrificial altar,
|
| And I will show you blood on the stone and I will be your mentor.
|
| And night will be our darling and fear will be our name.
|
| It’s hi, ho, hey, I am the bold marauder!
|
| It’s hi, ho, hey, I am the white destroyer!
|
| For I will take you out by the hand and lead you to the hunter,
|
| And I will show you thunder and steel and I will be your teacher;
|
| And we will dress in helmet and sword, and dip our tongues in slaughter,
|
| And we will sing a warrior’s song and lift the praise of murder.
|
| And Christ will be our darling and fear will be our name.
|
| It’s hi, ho, hey, I am the bold marauder!
|
| It’s hi, ho, hey, I am the white destroyer!
|
| For I will sour the winds on high and I will soil the rivers,
|
| And I will burn the grain in the fields and I will be your mother;
|
| And I will go to ravage and kill and I will go to plunder,
|
| And I will take a Fury to wife and I will be your father.
|
| And Death will be our darling and fear will be our name.
|
| It’s hi, ho, hey, I am the bold marauder!
|
| It’s hi, ho, hey, I am the white destroyer! |
