Clark Datchler - Boudicca Cry lyrics

Motherland of mine Once there was a time You're heart was wild and free How you've born and bled To be given up for dead But you've given life to me And, when I am still, there is a voice That emanates from your mysterious hills As if someone said: "Never forget me..." And now, with a Boudicca Cry I will fight for your life Not for cross, nor for crown But for the love of the land You can still be seen Draped in evergreen Behind the iron gates Beyond the uniform Of lion and unicorn Liberty awaits And yes, maybe I'll fall But mountain and moor Forest and field are a part of us all They're so much to lose There's too much to lose There's too much to lose And now, with a Boudicca Cry I will fight for your life Not for cross, nor for crown But for the love of the land Chariot carry me home And I will build new rings of stone I'll dance from the womb Until the tomb I'll find me a rock From which can be wrought Like the arc of the sun A golden torc And I'll wear it for you, I'll wear it for you Through, the mists of time A warrioress, courageous and proud Holds her hands out to mine And I'm trying to reach her I'm trying to reach her And I say now, with a Boudicca Cry I will fight for your life Not for cross, nor for crown But for the love, oh the love With a Boudicca Cry I will fight for your life Not for cross, nor for crown But for the love of the land... (Note: Boudicca is also known as Boadicea)
