[Verse 1]
C#m
In the early dawn the Bishop's men
B C#m
Shivered in the damp
B
But the shiver came not from the cold
A B
And spread throughout the camp
F# C#m
The trembling horses sensed the fear
F# C#m
Of silent thoughtful men
F#m C#m
Who prayed that wives and families
B C#m A C#m A
Might see them once again
[Verse 2]
C#m
The Bishop sent a dawn patrol
B C#m
To investigate the weight
B
Of forces at the King's command
A B
Ensconced behind the gate
F# C#m
The ground mist hid the patrol's approach
F# C#m
As they drew close enough to show
F#m C#m
The sentries on the battlements
B C#m A C#m A
And an archer drew his bow
[Verse 3]
C#m
From the topmost tower a sentry fell
B C#m
As an arrow pierced his skull
B
And his headlong flight into the moat
A B
Seemed that of a gull
F# C#m
The patrol reported little
F# C#m
There was nothing much to see
F#m C#m
But the strong and silent castle
B C#m A C#m A
F# symbol of the free
[Verse 4]
N.C. C#m
The King's men took communion
B C#m
As the first rays of the sun
B
Lit up the chapel's gloomy walls
A B
The fatal day begun
F# C#m
From the castle green the rooks took flight
F# C#m
To the high trees in the east
F#m C#m
To their carrion minds the battlefield
B C#m A C#m A
Set a table for a feast
[Verse 5]
C#m
F# tide of black, the Bishop's men
B C#m
Equality their right
B
Swarmed like ants across the hill
A B
Their aim at last in sight
F# C#m
The King's men dressed in purest white
F# C#m
Were driven back by force
F#m C#m
And the fighting grew more violent
B C#m A C#m A
As the battle took its course
[Verse 6]
C#m
The Bishop gave the order
B C#m
"No mercy to be shown
B
The sacrifice will reap rewards
A B
When the King is overthrown"
F# C#m
The sight of children lying dead
F# C#m
Made hardened soldiers weep
F#m C#m
The outer walls began to fall
B C#m A C#m A
They moved towards the keep
[Verse 7]
C#m
When the anxious King began to fail
B C#m
As many thought he might
B
The Queen ran screaming round the walls
A B
And urged the men to fight
F# C#m
The Bishops' men were tiring
F# C#m
As the afternoon grew late
F#m C#m
And the King's men lowered the drawbridge
B C#m A C#m A
And poured out through the gate
[Verse 8]
C#m
They fought their way across the bridge
B C#m
The men like falling leaves
B
Or ears of corn that fall in swathes
A B
The vicious sickle cleaves
F# C#m
The tide receded up the hill
F# C#m
The waste of reclaimed land
F#m C#m
Once decaying swamp became
B C#m A C#m A
F# shore of pure white sand
[Verse 9]
C#m
F# blinded priest was seen to bless
B C#m
Both dying and the dead
B
As he stumbled around the battlefield
A B
His cassock running red
F# C#m
If uniform were black or white
F# C#m
His eyes could never see
F#m C#m
And death made no distinction
B C#m A C#m A
Whatever man he be
[Verse 10]
C#m
As darkness fell both camps withdrew
B C#m
Their soldiers slain like cattle
B
Leaving the rooks to feast alone
A B
The victors of the battle
F# C#m
At evensong both camps reviewed
F# C#m
Their sad depleted ranks
F# C#m
As survivors of the battle
B C#m
Gave god their grateful thanks
