about

This darkly biting & powerful song was written by Richard & Mimi Farina. Most interpretations of this song consider it to be a commentary on the Crusades.

lyrics

BOLD MARAUDER
(Fariña / Fariña, arr. Winter)

I will bring you silver and gold, I will bring you treasure
I will bring a widowing flag, I will be your lover
I will show you grotto and cave, and sacrificial altar
I will show you blood on the stone, and I will be your mentor

And night will be our darling
And fear will be our name

I will take you out by the hand, and lead you to the hunter
I will show you thunder and steel, I will be your teacher
We will dress in helmet and sword, and dip our tongues in slaughter
We will sing a warrior’s song, and lift the praise of murder

And Christ will be our darling
And fear will be our name

CH
It’s hi, ho, hey,
I am the bold marauder.
And it's hi, ho, hey,
I am the white destroyer.

I will sour the winds on high, I will soil the river
I will burn the grain in the field, I will be your mother
I will go to ravage and kill, I will go to plunder
I will take a fury to wife, and I will be your father

And death will be our darling
And fear will be our name

CH x2
