lyrics

I'm a filthy night--I'm shining my sword.
I want to go outside, the castle walls.
Riding around in the grass and the desert
not caring about the men that
I have laid down; I've slain them.

But instead, the streets are calm.
I walk around, and watch the peseants.
Those ignorant, foolish people obeying not living.
Our circumstances are changing, the king's declared war.
(And,) I'll be leaving soon.

Open up, the wooded door,
stepping back inside my humble abode,
I walk up to my amoire, to suit up my armor.
My sheath and the sword and the saddle
will help me in battle with some of my old friends.
(The) Captain says, "we're riding 'till dawn.
We're riding 'till dawn."

Line up! Who's ready?
Thundering steps in the distance.

My stomach is growling and churning,
subsisting on jerkey and fear.
Glancing the looks of the soldiers most near me, I'm seeing fresh faces.
The army is breeding, some boys are quite nervous.

--warn faces are seasoned--

I want to bring the king up in his castle,
a shiny new vassle state.

Hey, man, it's the medieval times, man.

Hey, man, it's the medieval times, man.
