lyrics

Defending our wild forest
Wooden swords as hard as steel
Hanging rope from the branches
We played as children will
Screams and shouts echoed through
The woodland behind our home
It seems they'd always start that way
The games we used to play

Streams became raging torrents
Logs became ships of steel
Rigging made of twigs and leaves
I'd be captain at the wheel
My mutinous crew would argue
They wanted to be captain too
It seems they'd all go on that way
The games we used to play

As outlaws we'd hide from men
Who'd trespass in our wood
Robbing the rich to feed the poor
We battled for what was good
But Norman's came with axes
And devoured our forest home
Then they all ended that day
The games we used to play
