Luyện nghe bài hát The Battle

In the dawn the Bishop's men
in the damp
But the shiver came not the cold
And throughout the camp

The trembling horses sensed the
Of thoughtful men
Who that wives and families
see them once again

The bishops sent a patrol
To the weight
Of forces at the command
Ensconced behind the

The ground hid the patrol's approach
As they close enough to show
The sentries on the
And an archer his bow

From the topmost tower a fell
As an pierced his skull
And his headlong flight into the
that of a gull

The reported little
There was nothing to see
But the strong and silent
A symbol of the

The men took communion
As the rays of the sun
Lit up the castle's walls
The day begun

From the castle green the rooks flight
To the trees in the east
To their carrion minds the
Set a for a feast

A of black, the Bishop's men
Equality right
Swarmed like ants the hill
Their aim at last in

The men dressed in purest white
Were driven by force
And the fighting grew more
As the took its course

The Bishops the order
No to be shown
The sacrifice will reap
the King is overthrown

The of children lying dead
Made hardened weep
The outer walls began to
They towards the keep

The rooks the battlefield
hungry beady eyes
Reveled in the sight of
no surprise

The pressure steadily
As the Bishops the gate
And the King called to his knights
It's lives or the State

When the anxious King to fail
As many he might
The Queen ran screaming round the
And urged the men to

The men were tiring
As the drew late
And the King's men lowered the
And poured out through the

They fought their way the bridge
The men like falling
Or of corn that fall in swathes
The vicious sickle

The tide up the hill
The waste of land
Once decaying swamp
A shore of pure white

A priest was seen to bless
Both dying and the
As he around the battlefield
His cassock red

If uniform black or white
His eyes never see
And death no distinction
man he be

As darkness both camps withdrew
soldiers slain like cattle
Leaving the rooks to alone
The of the battle

At both camps reviewed
Their sad ranks
As survivors of the
Gave God grateful thanks
