Luyện nghe bài hát The Battle

In the early dawn the men
in the damp
But the came not from the cold
And spread throughout the

The trembling sensed the fear
Of silent men
Who that wives and families
Might see them again

The bishops a dawn patrol
To investigate the
Of forces at the King's
behind the gate

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

From the topmost tower a sentry
As an pierced his skull
And his headlong flight the moat
Seemed that of a

The patrol little
was nothing much to see
But the strong and silent
A symbol of the

The King's men took
As the first of the sun
Lit up the castle's walls
The fatal day

From the castle green the took flight
To the trees in the east
To their carrion the battlefield
Set a for a feast

A of black, the Bishop's men
their right
Swarmed ants across the hill
aim at last in sight

The King's men dressed in purest
Were back by force
And the grew more violent
As the battle its course

The Bishops gave the
No to be shown
The will reap rewards
the King is overthrown

The sight of children dead
Made hardened soldiers
The outer began to fall
They moved towards the

The rooks surveyed the
Their hungry beady
Reveled in the sight of
no surprise

The pressure steadily
As the Bishops the gate
And the desperate called to his knights
your lives or the State

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

The Bishop's men tiring
As the afternoon late
And the King's men the drawbridge
And poured out the gate

They their way across the bridge
The men falling leaves
Or ears of corn that fall in
The sickle cleaves

The receded up the hill
The of reclaimed land
Once swamp became
A shore of pure white

A blinded priest was to bless
dying and the dead
As he around the battlefield
His running red

If uniform were black or
His eyes could see
And death made no
man he be

As darkness both camps withdrew
Their soldiers slain cattle
Leaving the rooks to feast
The victors of the

At evensong both reviewed
sad depleted ranks
As survivors of the
God their grateful thanks
