At first in AS twenty one<br>
<br>
They hit our shield war at a run<br>
And that is how the war's begun<br>
Fightin' in the shield wall.<br>
<br>
_Hit 'em again until they fall.<br>
<br>
Hit 'em again until they fall.<br>
Hit 'em again until they fall.<br>
Fightin' in the shield wall._<br>
<br>
And then in AS twenty two<br>
<br>
We adorned our helms with tape of blue<br>
The King of Caid knew what to do<br>
He fought inside the shield wall<br>
<br>
_Hit 'em again until they fall.<br>
<br>
Hit 'em again until they fall.<br>
Hit 'em again until they fall.<br>
Fightin' in the shield wall._<br>
<br>
And then in AS twenty three<br>
<br>
The King of Calontir honored me.<br>
He said a fyrdman you will be<br>
For Fightin' in the shield wall.<br>
<br>
_Hit 'em again until they fall.<br>
<br>
Hit 'em again until they fall.<br>
Hit 'em again until they fall.<br>
Fightin' in the shield wall._<br>
<br>
And then in AS twenty four<br>
<br>
We headed east to the Pennsic War<br>
At falcon's bridge each slayed a score<br>
From safe inside the shield wall.<br>
<br>
_Hit 'em again until they fall.<br>
<br>
Hit 'em again until they fall.<br>
Hit 'em again until they fall.<br>
Fightin' in the shield wall._<br>
<br>
And then in AS twenty five<br>
<br>
I found myself more dead than alive<br>
Curse the luck that I survived<br>
Get back into the shield wall<br>
<br>
_Hit 'em again until they fall.<br>
<br>
Hit 'em again until they fall.<br>
Hit 'em again until they fall.<br>
Fightin' in the shield wall._<br>
<br>
And then in AS twenty six<br>
<br>
We had to fight those tuchux pricks<br>
They'll die to guns but not to sticks<br>
Fightin' against the shield wall<br>
<br>
_Hit 'em again until they fall.<br>
<br>
Hit 'em again until they fall.<br>
Hit 'em again until they fall.<br>
Fightin' in the shield wall._<br>
<br>
And then in AS twenty nine<br>
<br>
I earned a rest behind the line<br>
They gave me a harp and wings divine<br>
For fightin' in the shield wall<br>
<br>
_Hit 'em again until they fall.<br>
<br>
Hit 'em again until they fall.<br>
Hit 'em again until they fall.<br>
Fightin' in the shield wall._<br>
<br>
And then in AS twenty ten<br>
<br>
I found myself back on it again<br>
Between a knight with a bodhran and a baldric'd wren<br>
Fightin' in the shield wall.<br>
<br>
_Hit 'em again until they fall.<br>
<br>
Hit 'em again until they fall.<br>
Hit 'em again until they fall.<br>
Fightin' in the shield wall._<br>
