Jason Eady Battle Cries lyrics

(Eady)

Mother tell my children that I did all I could
Mother tell my children that their father was good

I'll write you from the valley and I'll write you from the shore
When I set out to sail that sea I will write to you no more

Chorus:
The flags are flying cannons high
We all take our stands
Some are crying battle cries
Some are holding hands

They come to take our freedom, they come to take our land

There are some things worth believing I have come to understand

I've heard them tell the stories of ships of men of steel
Who torture for the beauty, I hope the all are real

(Chorus)

I see on the horizon more than I can say
They hand me down my rifle, I take my number for a name

Now my pen must go down, now I must go on
The son you knew is setting, the battle has begun
