christopher lee - act ii: the iron crown of lombardy lyrics

my lord king charles
a state of crises has emerged
for you have encoured the wrath
of the lombard king desiderius

cast his daughter aside
and took another for your wife
he has taken offence
and its to late to make amends
our papal lands have been occupied by force
and fallen to the hands of the barbarian horde

for to long that vile race has remained a threat
to papal authority
that scheming lombard king
is flauting his gat
willfully

we must stand up and wage war
this has gone on for to long
its in all of our interest to subdue them
once and for all

my lord and holy father
this i pledge to thee
like my fathers before me
i shall fight for the holy city

my lord and holy father
i pledge thee my loyalty
i shall see this holy city
restored to its former glory

it has been 300 years
since cross the alps came thoses
to usurp the lands
of their peaceloving neighbours

encroaching closer upon rome
their leaders wanted to capture it for their own
and now king desiderius
has started to har-ss us

your father was a champion of the church
an agent of civilization in the western world
chosen to lead the people to the cross

the time is once more upon us
to look to our old friends
as your fathers before you
came to our defense

and you are..
i am the chosen one
to lead the faithless to the cross
in his empire in the west
where the lord [?]
for you my dear god

my lord and holy father
i pledge thee my loyalty
i shall see this holy city
restored to its former glory
and with the authority vested in me
i shall claim the iron crown of lombardy

at the foot of the alps
an army of men from all nations of frankish territory
..[?]..
divided the kingdom of francia from the kingdom of the lombards
it was here that a long a siege that was to last for many months
..[?]..
through countless mountain ridges he advanced
drift of snow gets in the eye
..[?]..
the dispatched
in a move to push the enemy back
..[?]..
finally gave way to our savior
forced to give hostages and to restore towns and fortresses
which he had taken [?]
on the holy sacrament he then took an oath

the time if once more upon us
to look to our old friends
as your fathers before you
came to our defense

and you are..
i am the chosen one
to lead the faithless to the cross
in his empire in the west
..[?]..

come springtime!
..[?]..
the franks are still encamped by the banks of the river rhone

come springtime!
..[?]..
the son of desiderius to byzantium has flown

come springtime!
