Fields of Talcontar
The night draws in, my lord
We’ve fought and bled my lord
And though our battle’s won,
And we can carry on
Inside we’re lost, my lord.
So I’m begging you,
Take me home again.
My lord I’m begging you,
take me to my land
make me whole again.
Chorus
In Talcontar
There’s a thousand golden meadows
Talcontar
The flowers are in bloom
Talcontar
My family waits and calls me home
From these fields of bloody war
To the fields of Talcontar.
My Prince, I’d follow you,
across this war-torn land
My lord, I’d fight for you
I’ll fight in any war.
I fight at your command.
But now I’m begging you,
Take me home again.
My lord I’m begging you,
take me to my land
make us whole again.
Chorus
My brother lies on the ground
His body is broken now
My sister lies on the ground
the crows are flying down
to feast on all around
So I’m begging you
take us home again
My lord I’m begging you
take me to my land
make us whole again.
Chorus (with reprise)
In Talcontar
There’s a thousand golden meadows
Talcontar
The flowers are in bloom
Talcontar
My family waits and calls me home
From these fields of bloody war...
To Talcontar
There’s horses in the paddocks
Talcontar
The fields of golden corn
Talcontar
My family waits and calls me home
From these fields of bloody war
To the fields of Talcontar.
