enfilade – richard iii lyrics

Loading...

[i]
woe, woe for england! civil war lasts for years
the aristocracy fights for the throne

the two roses, red and white
this is the last medieval war
the kings draw their swords
the kings of england

fly yorkist colours, fly! our king is rivaled once again
the young pretender to the throne has returned from france

fly, white boar, fly! richard is on the battleground
the n0blest son of the land, the last plantagenet

[ii]
the reign of edward iv started at the towton
later at the tewksbury yorks became unchallenged
the formidable edward reigned for twenty-two years
when he died there came a time to fight for power

richard claimed that former king’s sons were b-st-rd
they were thrown into the tower and died suspicious death
thus no direct heirs were left, and by the will of god
duke of gloucester became king of england, richard iii

two years of richard’s reign were good for the kingdom
but in the eyes of many he still was illegitimate king
a new pretender to the throne emerged from the tudors
from france, where we was hiding, he came back with an army

[iii]
oh, motherland england! war and woe for you
oh, motherland england! your sons are discontent

oh, crown of england! blood and lives are upon you
oh, crown of england! fly, yorkist colours, fly

[iv]
the battle
the field of bosworth
let york be victorious
fight, the bold men of england, fight for your king richard
betrayals are now unveiled
battle’s outcome is uncertain
fight, the bold men of england, those who still are loyal

yorkists fall
death draws nearer
king takes horse and leaves the cover

the resolute attack
the challenge
the will to face tudor
the n0ble deed made for redemption of all the king’s past sins

the war has ended as the swords found richard
he didn’t flee
he died
n0ble, brave york
