When Cannons are Roaring - (Strawhead) & The English March
When Cannons Are Roaring
Hark, the alarum call, war-clouds a-thundering
Foemen in wood and vale, through the towns plundering,
Then will the brave and true, to standard rallying,
Fight for their land and laws, rushing and sallying.
Chorus: When cannons are roaring and bullets are flying
He that would honor win must not fear dying.
Soldiers with sword in hand, to the walls coming,
Horsemen about the streets riding and running,
Sentinels on the walls, 'Arm, Arm' a-crying,
Petards against the ports, wildfire a-flying.
Chorus: When cannons are roaring and bullets are flying
He that would honor win must not fear dying.
Turmpets on turret high, these are a-sounding,
Drums betaing out aloud, echoes resounding,
Alarm bells in each place, they are a-ringing
Grappling hooks rope-tailed rise, to the walls clinging.
Chorus: When cannons are roaring and bullets are flying
He that would honor win must not fear dying.
Captains in open fields on their foes rushing,
Musketeers' bullets wild down their foes cutting,
Now soon at push of pike, horses uprearing,
Standards still held aloft through the smoke appearing.
Chorus: When cannons are roaring and bullets are flying
He that would honor win must not fear dying.

One of the best war songs ever put to paper
I'm an English patriot, and, honestly, I can't decide if I would side with King Charles or Oliver Cromwell if I lived in the 1640s, both have compelling arguments. I'm torn between my English nationalism and my Patriotic monarchism.

All that money and effort in battle scenes which are absolutely nothing like the real thing. Did film-makers think they had some sort sort of duty to always get it wrong?

The Levellers were so evil that both the Cavaliers and Roundheads agreed that they needed to go. The Levellers were the original Communists. It's fitting. Good on you chaps.

England always was a republic by virtue of being a Parliamentary Monarchy. Absolute Monarchy is despotic… Parliamentary Monarchy is a Monarchical republic as it fits the the pre-enlightenment definition of a republic and the early English translation of the Latin “res publica” is “commonwealth”, the old meaning of wealth being “well-being” so “commonwealth” is literally “common well-being”. The Kingdom of England is a commonwealth i.e. a republic.

The Royal Marty King Charles was a good person with honour, virtue and a very strong sense of duty! He did his best to be the best king possible, and cared for the welfare of his people! Unlike the roundhead creatures, for who the deepest hole in Hell is better than what they deserve! For King and Monarchy!
