<br>
A grazing mace, how sweet the blow<br>
<br>
That killed a wretch like me.<br>
I once was up but now I'm down.<br>
A grazing mace killed me.<br>
<br>
My knight has promised help for me<br>
<br>
He'll save my ass for sure.<br>
He will my shield wall anchor be<br>
As long as life endure.<br>
<br>
That mace has slain ten thousand foes<br>
<br>
All sweating in the sun.<br>
I'd no more grace to duck that mace<br>
I was ten thousand one.<br>
<br>
A grazing mace, how sweet the blow<br>
<br>
That killed a wretch like me.<br>
I once was up but now I'm down.<br>
A grazing mace killed me.<br>

<br>
A Grazing Mace, how sweet the blow<br>
<br>
That killed a wretch like me.<br>
I once was up, but now I'm down.<br>
A Grazing Mace killed me.<br>
<br>
My knight has promised help for me<br>
<br>
He'll save my ass for sure.<br>
He will my shieldwall anchor be<br>
As long as life endure.<br>
<br>
That mace has taught my heart to fear<br>
<br>
No shield my fear relieves<br>
How swiftly did that Mace appear<br>
The hour it first killed me.<br>
<br>
Through many fighters, knights and earls<br>
<br>
I had already come.<br>
My knight had kept me safe thus far<br>
But Mace did send me home.<br>
<br>
That mace has slain ten thousand foes<br>
<br>
All sweating in the sun.<br>
I'd no more grace to duck that mace<br>
I was ten thousand one.<br>
