Keep

KEEP All keep safe and heed my warning Too late to escape by early morning And surrounded as the day is dawning The outer walls are thick and strong But battered, they’ll not last too long And our fate is solely in our hands The keep is well protected by a moat As those in armour will never float Guards will follow all orders by rote But access will be barred, it is true With portcullis and drawbridge too And our fate is solely in our hands We do have secrets that we must keep But if under attack, we will not sleep As our dead will pile high in a heap Yet we will certainly respond in kind By killing them all and yet never mind And our fate is solely in our hands We’ll keep the true faith as crusaders Even though we’re considered invaders And none staying here are dissuaders The Holy Land is our very right to win And with never a thought of giving in And our fate is solely in our hands
