Bold Marauder Lyrics

Bold Marauder

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!
