Here's a window, and here the two of us on the ledge On the icy ground below A mounted formation rides - Helmets, swords, epaulettes glinting in the night You whisper: let's you and I make our own warriors Of pewter, terracotta - in any case, immortal They will fight only for our love Unflinching they will face any storm or flame With their wooden swords And eternal glassy breath They would spill pewter blood Our army, our army My general, what if our enemy has seven heads Seven crowns shining over the star-crowned towers? You whisper: my lady, I shall help conquer your fear We shall create an army even more fearsome For with their wooden swords And eternal glassy breath It spills pewter blood this day Our army, our army Beneath the embroidered banner The tambourines ring - forgiveness From dawn to dusk Our army, our army Do you remember how you carried me through the forest snows Through the steaming damp and the flying flak? Again and again the relentless armoured waves come Seven crowns, seven towers, seven flags With their steel blades With their frozen breath The blood spills its inevitable red Our army, our army Before the daylight ends - save me Under our faded silk banner Our army, our army
