    Deep in the castle and back from the wars
    Back with my baby and the fire burned tall
    "Hoorah", went the men down below
    All outside was the rain and snow
    Hear their shouts, hear their roar
    They've probably all had a barrel or much, much more
    Hoorah, hoorah, hoorah, yeah
    Over the hill with the swords of a thousand men
    We had to meet the enemy a mile away
    Thunder in the air and the skies turned gray
    Assemblin' the knights and their swords were sharp
    There was hope in our English hearts
    Hear our roar, hear our sound
    We're gonna fight until we have won this town
    Hoorah, hoorah, hoorah, yeah
    Over the hill with the swords of a thousand men
    The knights come along at the end of the day
    Some were half-alive and some had run away
    Hear our triumph, in our roar
    We're gonna drink a barrel or much, much more
    Hoorah, hoorah, hoorah, yeah
    Over the hill with the swords of a thousand men
    Hoorah, hoorah, hoorah, yeah

    Those guitars are makingngreat sounds not to be plugged in. Haha also the drummer is doing good on a drum kit but there's not one there. Hated there was so much lip syncing....
    Haha...they forgot to tk the horses out at the beginning. Its not supposed to look like your lip syncing. But most of the bands that did the show had to lip sync but they always carried a diff recording with them to lip sync to on shows. It was made to sound diff and live. Haha...here they just played the actual song with the horses. Idc though because these guys are BAD ASS! I was a kid in the 80s but I was a metal head and I didn't hear this song or band back then here in America. Truth be told I didnt find them until about 5 or 6 yrs ago. I came across the video for this song and I was hooked! It was great seeing he still goes around doing this song. Guess he's the only original member then?
