Gathered round the wooden table
Same tavern as the nights before
I brace myself against the gable
Sunlight pushes its way through the gap in the door
As the golden sunbeams reach my eyes
I stand up and raise my pint up high
One more for our brothers who fought beside us
One more and forward again
Once more, we'll fight and conquer
Until we'll meet again
Staring at the stools not taken
I reach for my tankard of ale
The silence remains unbroken
All you hear is a tinkle of mail
As the golden sunbeams reach my eyes
I stand up and raise my pint up high
One more for our brothers...
Like a raging thunderstorm we flew down the forested hill
Tree-trunks and rocks passing by
The endless ranks stood waiting out in the open field
My fingers gripped the handle of my sword
With full power we smashed into their lines
The ground shook, swords tasted flesh
Hooves trampling over men screaming for their lives
The battle raged until both troops were threshed
Grief no more over friends who died
That day will come to us all
Until then we shall fight with pride
Raise our pints till the dawn
Grief no more over friends who died
That day will come to us all
Side by side we shall ride once more
When the Horn calls for War
Feeling low and heavy hearted
Interrupted by a distant alarm
Seems like the war has started
May it be for our brothers in arms
Once again the golden sunbeam reaches my eyes
I stand up and raise my sword up high
One more for our brothers...
Same tavern as the nights before
I brace myself against the gable
Sunlight pushes its way through the gap in the door
I stand up and raise my pint up high
One more and forward again
Once more, we'll fight and conquer
Until we'll meet again
I reach for my tankard of ale
The silence remains unbroken
All you hear is a tinkle of mail
I stand up and raise my pint up high
Tree-trunks and rocks passing by
The endless ranks stood waiting out in the open field
My fingers gripped the handle of my sword
The ground shook, swords tasted flesh
Hooves trampling over men screaming for their lives
The battle raged until both troops were threshed
That day will come to us all
Until then we shall fight with pride
Raise our pints till the dawn
That day will come to us all
Side by side we shall ride once more
When the Horn calls for War
Interrupted by a distant alarm
Seems like the war has started
May it be for our brothers in arms
I stand up and raise my sword up high

I can't help but laugh each time I listen to this song. It's a great song, though! Right now I'm continuously listening and chanting to it.
I think this is the most passionate song I have ever heard about goin' down the pub with your mates
I bloody love this song:
"The story is located in tavern-surroundings, feeling sad about your old friends who didn't make it. The chorus lifts up the feeling and makes you raise your pint ready to confront the battles ahead. Basically a song to listen to when you need an extra kick in your arse to get up and claw your way through the battles of everyday life."
it a tribute to the men at war. he is raising a pint of beer (a toast) to the people who are out at war for us.
Rainbow nailed it. A song for those who we've lost...This song helped immensely with the passing of a good friend of mine. One more and FORWARD again!
