Pippin soundtrack – Glory lyrics

[LEADING PLAYER]
Glory! Glory!
Glory! Glory!
Praise be to Charles our Lord
Triumphant is his sword
Allegiance is his word
Glory! Glory!
Glory! Glory!
Blood!
Blood is red as sunset
Blood is warmer than wine
The taste of salty summer brine
Uh huh
Steel!
[ALL]
Steel!
[LEADING PLAYER]
Steel is cold as moonlight
Steel is sharper than sight
The touch of bitter winter white
[SOLDIERS]
Shout it out from the highest tower
shout it out in the darkest hour
Charlemagne, you lead us on to
[ALL]
Power!
[LEADING PLAYER]
War!
[LEADING PLAYER]
War is strict as Jesus
[SOLDIERS]
War
[LEADING PLAYER]
War it's finer than spring
[SOLDIERS]
War
[LEADING PLAYER AND TWO SOLDIERS]
Service to Christ and to our
[ALL]
King!
Shout it out from the highest tower
shout it out in the darkest hour
Charlemagne, you lead us on to power....
[ALL]
The gates of heaven await
Thrown open wide by Charles the Great
We follow him through by serving his state
[ALL]
Glory! Glory!
Glory! Glory!
Glory!
