Calling All The Heroes - It Bites

We left you in pastures rarely seen holding out the fortress for a while

Everyone knew why the calm had been, keeping friends among you saves a fight

In the dead of the night there was movement and shadows

Attacking the women and taking the gold

The men were away and no one could hear them

They still cry today when the story is told

High on a mountain out searching for gold

Men have had warning of scriptures fortold

Turn around and fight for freedom you can hear the people screaming

Calling all the heroes, they’re shooting up the town boys

The men returned to find their home destroyed, people rushing round with scars

of war

Babies crying the aged wounded mourned, calling out for someone to hear their

prayers

Five miles away were the theives and the bandits

Laughing and joking sickly and crude

They didn’t know that the men had come back home

They didn’t know they were being persued

High on a mountain the men looked below

Cooked up a plan that would outwit their foe

They scrambled down the mountain shooting reclaimed all the bandits looted

Calling all the heroes they’re shooting up the town boys
