[Hook] [Rhythmic Verse] In the woods there looms a brawl A King whose call rings deep Warriors rise as darkness falls Sacred vows they must keep [Verse] Villages burn in the night Courage met with bitter strife Tales are told of endless fright Fighting for their ways of life [Bridge] Footsteps in the dark of night Voices lost Out of sight Hope and fear They intertwine New England set ablaze [Chorus] Mem'ries fade but hist'ry stays Whispered by the trees War drums beat in olden ways Echoing through the breeze [Break] [Verse] Forces clash on ancient ground Lives are lost each day Bloodshed all about Their world in disarray [Rhythmic Verse] Forging thru, upright they stand Future's stake in their hand Brutal wars have scarred the land Hist'ry soon will understand! [Bridge] Footsteps in the dark of night Voices lost Out of sight Hope and fear They intertwine New England set ablaze [Chorus] Mem'ries fade but hist'ry stays Whispered by the trees War drums beat in olden ways Echoing through the breeze [Pre-Chorus] Philip leads the tribes against, The colonists, they just can't rest A third New England, gone & razed! [Epic Sing Chant] Felt the Wampanoag's rage! [Intense melodic interlude] [Rhythmic Verse] Years and years have passed on by To thousands now we've said goodbye A war yet still, rages on of [Angry Chant] Extermination! [Fiddle fast aggressive interlude] [Rhythmic Verse] New England in a vengeful craze Yankee raids return the blaze No food, no home, roving bands These tribes have lost their storied land! [Chorus] Mem'ries fade but hist'ry stays! Up Mount Hope King Philip's bound Yankees' hunt will cut him down Kept his head on a spike in town! [Chorus] King Philip Stood his ground! (Stood his ground!) [Fast fiddle break] [Pre-Chorus] Tho many do not know his name A nation forged by his flame! [Interlude] [Sombre Bridge] Ambushed in the dead of night Nations gone Lost the fight All those years Despite the fears King Philip persevered [Big finish]
