Raise your banners, raise them high
In your homeland hear the cry
From the battle, turn to home
Back to England to claim your throne

Six white horses, you must ride
Loyal comrades by your side
Prince of lions, the second son
Through the darkness the king will come

Lion, lionheart
Defender of the faith
Lion, lionheart
Protector of the state
Lionheart

Your crown awaits you, the chosen one
Tell the people that freedom?s come
Light the beacons, ring the bells
Sing you minstrels there's tales to tell

Send the message across the land
The king returns with sword in hand
Law and order, he will restore
Evil tyranny will reign no more

Lion, lionheart
Defender of the faith
Lion, lionheart
Protector of the state
Lionheart, lionheart

Raise your banners, raise them high
In your homeland hear the cry
From the battle, turn to home
Back to England to claim your throne

Build your castles, guard the keep
Behind these walls the city sleeps
No more conflict, the blood is shed
Three gold lions on flags of red

Lion, lionheart
Defender of the faith
Lion, lionheart
Protector of the state

Lion, lionheart
Defender of the faith
Lion, lionheart
Protector of the state
Lionheart, lionheart
