How dissent has swept the lands Like a scourge; a plague of heresy No legions to halt the tide Outside rings the promise of vengeance
The castle fell by nightfall The captives were freed and unshackled And swore the oath of loyalty To the cause of true moral justice:
‘Death to the sycophants We shan't abide their servile deeds'
So they marched on Blackheath The air alive with frenzy, passion, turmoil, wrath The King true to his word granted counsel at sunrise Our quest is fulfilled
Fervour and piety swelled through Blackheath On this hallowed feast day of Corpus Christi Rustics had risen and were determined to see the preacher deliver his sermon
Bellowed he: ‘When Adam delved and Eve span' The crowd replied ‘Who, then, was the gentleman?' Serfdom had never been ordained by God And lords should be rightly uncovered as corruptors
The great lords of the realm were mere weeds to be plucked out, cut down, trampled, burnt The Royal Barge approached and with it would come justice, freedom, mercy, hope
Armed with rusting swords and bows old and worn The true commons kept to the oath they had sworn Their demands received with astonishment by the young King Back to the tower he went
Incensed, the rebels had violence in mind To London they marched and with haste did they find The New Temple that they sacked and plundered Before carrying their blood lust towards their main prize
Now the Duke whom the rebels had apportioned the blame Looked on as his beloved Savoy was engulfed in flame One pilferer caught with silver hidden up his sleeve Was thrown onto the fire - a lesson for would-be thieves
From atop the tower the boy king watched on in pain Unbeknownst to him this was the turning point of his reign Now the counsel of the king were waiting at the door To petition this fearful child to bring about the conclusion of war
Eighteen men Traitors Beheaded for their crimes
Their houses burnt down The nobles watched, despaired
This pardon from our King is a scorn Heads will roll!Teksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
