O when the sun is hot and your head's melting in your helm
And though you fight and fight neither side can overwhelm
      Under the shieldwall, it's the place to be, yeah
      With my lady beside me, willingly

Under the shieldwall - where it's quiet and dark
Under the shieldwall - like our own private park
Under the shieldwall - pole arms crashing above
Under the shieldwall - we'll be falling in love
Under the shieldwall - shieldwall!

O It's the safest place that a fighter can ever be
No weapon reaches there to break our sweet tranquility
      Under the shieldwall, out of the sun
      With my lady beside me, we're having fun!

chorus

So when the battle's joined and you find yourself in the press
Why don't you seek me there, take a break from the battle stress
      Under the shieldwall, it's the place to be, yeah
      With my lady beside me, carnally

Under the shieldwall - where it's quiet and dark
Under the shieldwall - like our own private park
Under the shieldwall - pole arms crashing above
Under the shieldwall - we'll be making love
Under the shieldwall - shieldwall!
