Grow to be Heroes

From the gates of Capua

With our daggers drawn to our sides

And our sheep swing on dirty rods

Sandals on sand in villa

Maidens find favor in form

And pull curtains in despair

Cuz only coin interests me now

Takes my time and knowhow

Together we fall on

Something like a sword

And the ladies called to gardens on the site

To sing for men underneath the starlight

And swim in the pools before we are naked

In a wheelhouse we are all forsaken

For some silver and some youthful courage as we clash

In front of gods who are left for dead

And it could never have been measured to show

That you're betrothed

To all who grow to be heroes

Set encampments further west

Warm the men with lies and fires

We'll be gone by the morning light

Take our gold and don't be foolish

Go vanish like a viper

And tail us, gone like a dream

We walked right through the middle of the city

Til the first broke ranks

And a fight ensued

And the ladies called to gardens on the site

To sing for men underneath the starlight

And swim in the pools before we are naked

In a wheelhouse we are all forsaken

For some silver and some youthful courage as we clash

In front of gods who are left for dead

And it could never have been measured to show

That you're betrothed

Not all will grow to be heroes

Your boys will grow to be heroes

Your girls will grow to be heroes too

You can count on them to lead you
