Jethro Tull - Broadsword

[Luca Canetti]

I see a dark sail on the horizon set under a black cloud
That hides the sun

Bring me my broadsword and clear understanding
Bring me my cross of gold as a talisman
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing
Take women and children and bed them down

Bring me my broadsword and clear understanding
Bring me my cross of gold as a talisman
Bless with a hard heart those who surround me
Bless the women and children who firm our hands
Put our backs to the north wind
Hold fast by the river
Sweet memories to drive us on for the motherland

I see a dark sail on the horizon set under a black cloud
That hides the sun

So bring me my broadsword and clear understanding
Bring me my cross of gold as a talisman
So bring me my broadsword
And the cross of gold as a talisman.
