Born for Battle (Black Dog of Brocéliande)

You were just a child when the flame began to burn
You could not run you could not hide
No one told you there was so much more to learn
Just would not stop before you tried
You hear the calling
Inside you knew
Born for battle
I heard the calling (Born for battle)
Hated and scorned (Born for battle)
My sword was the warning (Born for battle)
I’ll defend when you call for
The king has justified the cruelty and pain
A crown and glory
To revel in
Short in stature but a savior to the land
Just let them burn and let me win
I heard the calling
Inside I knew
Born for battle
I heard the calling (Born for battle)
Hated and scorned (Born for battle)
My sword was the warning (Born for battle)
I’ll defend to the end
I’m the underdog
Never bark before I bite
Peace a word I never learned
In war my victories mean strife and loss of lives
Never cared if I’d return
Born for battle
My need was created at birth
For glory and blood I was born — burn
Never cared if I’d return
Born for battle
I heard the calling (Born for battle)
I’ll defend when you call for battle (Born for battle)
My sword was the warning (Born for battle)
I was born for battle
