Bold Marauder
By: Richard Farina
It's hi, ho, hey, I am the bold marauder!
It's hi, ho, hey, I am the white destroyer!
For I will buy you silver and gold and I will bring you
treasure,
And I will bring a widowing flag and I will be your
lover;
And I will show you grotto and cave 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!
It's 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 warrior's 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!
It's 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.
It's hi, ho, hey, I am the bold marauder!
It's hi, ho, hey, I am the white destroyer!
