Aulon Raid Lyrics
[Intro]
This is called "Aulon Raid"
[Verse 1]
Come riding with your soldiers
See how they fare
Keep yourself out of the action
Arrows flying through the air
Your reputation precedes you
Something must be done
Here in the heat of the onslaught
I am the one
[Chorus]
Me and my crew
We will deal with you
We will deal with you
Me and my pagan crew
[Verse 2]
Come to lay down the edict
Come for the spoils
Come for the temple attendants
Anointed in oils
Come flanked by your big guns
Ride with the packs
Come screaming for tribute
Go out on your back
[Chorus]
Me and my crew
We will deal with you
We will deal with you
Me and my pagan crew, yeah, yeah
