Luyện nghe bài hát The Battle

In the early the Bishop's men
in the damp
But the came not from the cold
And throughout the camp

The trembling horses sensed the
Of thoughtful men
Who prayed that and families
Might see them once

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

The ground hid the patrol's approach
As they drew close to show
The on the battlements
And an drew his bow

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

The patrol reported
There was much to see
But the and silent castle
A of the free

The King's men communion
As the rays of the sun
Lit up the castle's gloomy
The day begun

From the castle green the took flight
To the trees in the east
To their minds the battlefield
Set a table for a

A tide of black, the men
Equality their
Swarmed like across the hill
Their aim at last in

The King's men in purest white
Were driven back by
And the fighting grew more
As the battle took its

The Bishops the order
No mercy to be
The sacrifice reap rewards
When the is overthrown

The of children lying dead
hardened soldiers weep
The outer walls began to
They moved towards the

The rooks the battlefield
hungry beady eyes
Reveled in the of death
Showing no

The pressure steadily
As the neared the gate
And the desperate called to his knights
It's your or the State

When the anxious King began to
As many thought he
The Queen ran screaming the walls
And urged the men to

The Bishop's men were
As the drew late
And the King's men the drawbridge
And out through the gate

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

The tide receded up the
The of reclaimed land
Once swamp became
A of pure white sand

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

If uniform black or white
His could never see
And death made no
man he be

As darkness both camps withdrew
Their slain like cattle
Leaving the to feast alone
The of the battle

At both camps reviewed
sad depleted ranks
As of the battle
God their grateful thanks
