Just a quick, slight editing on the first three stanzas. It does not put it in correct meter, it just smooths out what you have. To do that would require to much alteration. It is accentual verse, but it mimics ballad meter. Just to give you an example.
"Gather round all my men
set your sights on high,
the time has come to set about
on this grand day to die.
Gather round, now all that will;
the battle's very near.
Stand tall my brave and stalwart friends,
there is no cause to fear.
Lock and load, then cinch up tight
kiss the ladies bye.
The time has come among us lads
on this grand day to die."

How long after picking up the brush, the first masterpiece?
The goal is not to obfuscate that which is clear, but make clear that which isn't.
