Night becomes morning light
A solitary grave for the gallant and the brave
Shows the body of a knight
A solitary grave for the gallant and the brave
He was loved, "He might have been a king", people said
But kingdoms crumble and nature takes good care of the dead
Life has just begun
Swarming flies let offspring eat
He would never run away, no he never ran away
Ravens make their dinner sweet
He would never run away, no he never ran away
Oh he was loved, "He might have been a king", people said
But kingdoms crumble 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 never run away no he never ran away
He was the flower of this land
He would never run away, no he never ran away
Oh he was loved, "He might have been a king", people said
But kingdoms crumble 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 never run away, no he'll never run away
But weeds now hide his bare white bones
He will never run away, no he'll never run away
He was loved, "He might have been a king", people said
But kingdoms crumble and nature takes good care of the dead
Life has just begun
