[Verse 1]
Look here my friends, I've got to tell you
The word is out, the word 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 word is out, the word is out
Trouble's coming, peace is over
The king has hung the militia guard
[Verse 2]
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 (the midnight?)
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
Children crying for their mothers
How are they to know they died
There'll be no help from [?] city
We're fighting to be free and right
The king will regret one day
And that's not far away
The day he hung the militia guard
[Guitar Solo]
