when we came to this land there was evil in the fields the trees had no leaves and the sheep were in trauma so we made a solemn vow and gathered up our arms and rode past all the farms and the people were waving ( we said ) have no fear help is here and we ride now to bring you salvation this is our song it will make us strong it will free you from fear and destruction my sword is my sword my shield is my shield together we ride into the battlefield and our foes will fall at our feet as we fight for honour and glory the audience sang along joyously to the chorus and even aiden felt compelled to join in .
