J-Tull Broadsword Lyrics

I see a dark sail on the horizon,
Set under a black cloud that hides the sun.
Bring me my broadsword, and clear understanding;
Bring me my cross of gold as a talisman.
Get up to the round house on the clifftop standing;
Take women and children, and bed them down.

Bring me my broadsword, and clear understanding;
Bring me my cross of gold as a talisman.
Bless with a hard heart, and those who surround me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind; hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on for the motherland.
