And to Fight For a Cause
Words by Joe Ficklin

Am G Am Am E Am We answered the call from the king / (Sounding the horns, marching away) Am G Am G Am From the king we answered the call / And marched away all (marched away all) Am G Am C D For the king, we answered his call / To a far distant land of mountains and sand Am G Am C D From the king we answered the call / To fight for his glory, obey his command C D E Am In a far away land / Of mountains and sand / Marched away all (marched away all) Am C For how many years must the bugles call? F G How many kingdoms and empires fall? Am C How will we know it was worth it all, F G Am On the day when the black sun rises? E Am On that day when the black sun rises? We'll feed the crows that have gathered here We'll flood the ground with our blood and tears We'll watch in silence through coming years 'Til the day when the black sun rises On that day when the black sun rises Send forth the heralds to call the boys Send them to battle in awesome noise See them, the wreckage like broken toys For the day when the black sun rises On that day when the black sun rises The soldiers will stand in the dressed ranks With armor and weapons in shining banks Where no Lord nor King offers worthless thanks When the day of the black sun rises On that day when the black sun rises Am G Am Am E Am We answered the call from the king / (Sounding the horns, marching away) Am G Am G Am From the king we answered the call / And marched away all (marched away all) Am G Am C D For the king, we answered his call / To a far distant land of mountains and sand Am G Am C D From the king we answered the call / To fight for his glory, obey his command C D E Am In a far away land / Of mountains and sand / Marched away all (marched away all)
