Night [bad word] morning light
solitary grave for the gallant and the brave
Shows the body of a knight
solitary grave for the gallant and the brave
He was loved, "He might have been a king", people said
But kingdoms [bad word] and nature takes good care of the dead
Life has just begun
Swarming flies let offspring eat
He would [bad word] away, no he never ran away
Ravens make their dinner sweet
He would [bad word] away, no he never ran away
Oh he was loved, "He might have been a king", people said
But kingdoms [bad word] and nature takes good care of the dead
Life has just begun:
Wounds are filled in with earth, assiduous earth The sun breathes life into the field, the dewy field
Sword in hand, in armour grand
He would [bad word] away no he never ran away
He was the flower of this land
He would [bad word] away, no he never ran away
Oh he was loved, "He might have been a king", people said
But kingdoms [bad word] and nature takes good care of the dead
Life has just begun:
Wounds are filled in with earth, assiduous earth The sun breathes life into the field, the dewy field
His lady waits, his mother moans
He will [bad word] away, no he'll [bad word] away
But weeds now hide his bare white bones
He will [bad word] away, no he'll [bad word] away
He was loved, "He might have been a king", people said
But kingdoms [bad word] and nature takes good care of the dead
Life has just begun
