Boudica (also spelled as Boudicca), was a historical queen of the Iceni Celts who led a war against Roman occupation.
Karliene has sung about several other historical queens from the British isles, such as Elizabeth I and Anne Boleyn.
At night I still hear the screams
Haunted by everything you took from me
But lying there in my blood
I vowed to myself that my day would come
When you'd hear my battle-cry
Fire and wrath burning in my eyes
You kicked a queen to the floor
And raised a warrior
This is the rise of Boudica
This is the rise of Boudica
Make way for the warrior
This is the rise of Boudica!
Make way for the warrior queen!
This is the rise of Boudica
Boudica
Boudica
Remember my name
Boudica
Boudica
I'll fight you 'till my dying day!
These scars will never heal
So I bandage them in layers of steel
'Till I see a girl no more
But a she-wolf ready to win this war
Now hear my battle-cry
Fire and wrath burning in my eyes
You kicked me to the floor
And I became a warrior
The fear never goes away
But I'm ready to fight it
Once I was the prey
Now I'm a lion
This is the rise of Boudica
This is the rise of Boudica
Make way for the warrior
This is the rise of Boudica!
Make way for the warrior queen!
This is the rise of Boudica
Boudica
Boudica
Remember my name
Boudica
Boudica
I'll fight until my dying day!
