Militia Guard Lyrics
Look here, my friends, I've got to tell you
The world is out, the world is out
Trouble's coming, peace is over
The king has hung the militia guard
Look here, my friends, I've got to tell you
The world is out, the world is out
Trouble's coming, peace is over
The king has hung the militia guard
The kings men ran out in the light
To fight their foe was a waste of human life
And then they raised their fists
Against the crushing might
Encased the kings men sword
Into their
Children crying for their mothers
How are they to know they died
There'll be no help
We're fighting to be free and
The king will regret one day
And that's not far away
The day he hung the militia guard
The world is out, the world is out
Trouble's coming, peace is over
The king has hung the militia guard
The world is out, the world is out
Trouble's coming, peace is over
The king has hung the militia guard
To fight their foe was a waste of human life
And then they raised their fists
Against the crushing might
Encased the kings men sword
Into their
How are they to know they died
There'll be no help
We're fighting to be free and
The king will regret one day
And that's not far away
The day he hung the militia guard

It was he said, "conceptually, a little based on the French Revolution or the Russian Revolution"
