SWORD ON SHIELD

Mighty warriors, busy warriors,
Dressed in battle array;
In the air there's a feeling of slaughter.
Maidens laughing, fighters gasping,
In the midst of the fray,
And all over the field you can hear:

Sword on shield,
Sword on shield;
It's tourney time in the Kingdom.
Helmets ring,
Ding-a-ling;
Soon we will have a new King;
