Calling All The Heroes Lyrics - The Big Lad In The Windmill - It Bites

We left you in pastures rarely seen 

(Holding out the fortress for a while) 

Everyone knew why the calm had been 

(Keeping friends among you saves a fight) 

In the dead of the night there was movement and shadows 

Attacking the women and taking the gold 

The men were away and no one could hear them 

They still cry today when the story is told 

High on a mountain, out searching for gold 

Men have had warning of scriptures foretold 

Turn around and fight for freedom 

You can hear the people screaming 

Calling all the heroes 

Shooting up the town boys 

Call all the hero oh ooo oh ohs 

Calling all the heroes 

They're burning up the town boys 

Calling you 

Men returned to find their home destroyed 

(People rushing round with scars of war) 

Babies crying... the aged wounded mourned 

(Calling out for someone to hear their prayers) 

Five miles away were the thieves and the bandits 

Laughing and joking and sickly and crude 

They didn't know that the men had come back home 

They didn't know they were being pursued 

High on a mountain the men looked below 

Cooked up a plan that would outwit their foe 

They scrambled down the mountain shooting 

Reclaimed all the bandits looted 

Calling all the heroes 

Shooting up the town boys 

Call all the hero oh ooo oh ohs 

Calling all the heroes 

They're burning up the town boys 

Calling you 

Da! 

Calling all the heroes 

Shooting up the town boys 

Call all the hero oh ooo oh ohs 

Calling all the heroes 

Shooting up the town boys 

Call all the hero oh ooo oh ohs 

Calling all the heroes 

They're burning up the town boys 

Calling all the hero ooo oh ooo ohs 

Calling all the heroes 

Shooting up the town boys 

Call all the hero oh ooo oh ohs 

Calling all the heroes 

They're burning up the town boys 

Call all the hero ooo oh ooo ohs
