Forefather For These Shores Lyrics

For These Shores Lyrics

[Music & Lyrics Athelstan]







Was a time when men they fought for kindred's cause, a struggle to survive



But far beyond the native burghs I see they send our blood to death



Is it to kill for greed, to find eternal peace or sow the seeds for war?



This army is not for Folk and Fyrd, there is no peace beyond these shores







Fields of graves reveal courageous aims of brothers long time gone



Should we live to see another cemetery for men who died but not for their own
kin to feed?







For these shores



For these shores







Fields of graves, futile slaves



To distant wars, far beyond these shores
