A [Eb]
glorious band, the chosen few, on whom the Spirit came.
To valiant saints their hopes they knew, and mocked the cross and flame.
They met the tyrant's brandished steel, a lion's glory made.
They vowed their heads, their death to feel, who follows in their [Ab] train.
The boy, doomed, war has gone, [Db] on the wings [Ab] of death you [Cm] will [Ab] find him.
His father's sword he has [Ab] girded on, [Db] and his wild [Ab] heart strung behind.
[Fm]
[Ebm] Land of song, cried the warrior [Ab] bard, [F] the wall of the world [Eb]
[Cm] betrays thee.
One [Ab] sword at [Eb] least thy rights [Db] shall guard, one faithful heart shall [Ab] praise thee.
The minstrel fell, but performance chains could [Eb] not bring his proud soul [Ab] under.
The harp he loved ne'er spoke again, for he tore its chords [Eb] asunder.
And said, no chain shall [Ab] sully thee, [F] thy soul of love [F] and bravery.
[Ab] Thy song was made for the pure and [C] free, [Db] and shall never [Eb] sound in [Ab] slavery.
Thy song was made for the [Eb] pure [Ebm] and free, and [Bbm] shall never [Eb] sound in slavery.
