Marching to Victory by the Gremani Family
Chorus: Come join with me in song, to war we march along Fighting for fame and treasure, leaving our life of leisure The buckler and the blade, the weapons of our trade War is the greatest pleasure Marching to Victory!
Thieves may rob you of your treasures golden Fame's a coin that never can be stolen
Chorus:
Place your lover's ring upon your finger And look back when at the gate you linger
Chorus:
Those at home will keep the fires burning All to welcome us on our returning
Chorus:
If you find me with the dead and dying Kiss my lips and leave me where I'm lying
Chorus:
Even death can't rob us of our glory Our deeds will live on in song and story
Chorus:
Dressed for war, Don Cesare's a charmer All the bravos love a man in armour
Chorus:
Helper files, chorus only:
