Protest Song of the Day - Richard and Mimi Farina alert : The Bold Marauders will soon be here

Bold Marauders

And it's hi ho hey
I am the bold marauder
And hi ho hey
I am the white destroyer
For I will bring you silver and gold
And I will bring you treasure
And I will bring a winnowing flag
And I will be your lover
And I will show you grotto and glade
And sacrificial altar
And I will show you blood on the stone
And I will be your mentor
And night will be our darling
And Fear will be our name.

It's hi ho hey
I am the bold marauder
And hi ho hey
I am the white destroyer
For I will take you out by the hand
And lead you to the hunter
And I will show you thunder and steel
And I will be your teacher
And we will dress in helmet and sword
And dip our tongues in slaughter
And we will sing a warriors' song
And lift the praise of murder
And Christ will be our darling
And fear will be our name

It's hi ho hey
I am the bold marauder
And hi ho hey
I am the white destroyer
For I will sour the winds on high
And I will soil the rivers
And I will burn the grain in the fields
And I will be your mother
And I will go to ravage and kill
And I will go to plunder
And I will take a Fury to wife
And I will be your father
And death will be our darling
And Fear will be our name.
