From this day on I own my father’s crown
We dug his shallow grave where I had grown
I laid his broken body down below the southern land
It wouldn’t do to bury him where any Ringwraith stands

I’ll take my horse and I’ll ride the northern plain
To wear the army colour and join the fight again
I’ll not rest until I know the cause is fought and won
From this day on until I die I’ll wear my father’s crown

I’d like to know how many soldiers died tonight
maybe ten thousand well that’s not fine, alright
`Cause there’s fighting there and the company needs men
So I’ll lead the men around the bend

As soon as this is over we’ll go home
To plant the seeds of justice in our bones
To watch the children growing and see the women sewing
There’ll be laughter when the bells of victory ring
