lyrics
She joins the crowds as the watch with awe
The soldiers marching home from war
They beat the drums and they blow their horns
Victorious they have returned
The children run to their fathers arms
Their wives relieved they’re safe from harm
Leonora’s joy to anguish turns
Her William has not returned
My child may God look down on thee
Her mother says to sooth her grief
Oh mother! Mother! He is gone
I know not how to carry on
I curse the God whom with wilful malice
Took my sweet William from me
Does he heed my grief? Can he comprehend
Of the pain that he’s made me feel?
God please have mercy on this child
And forgive her for this sin
She knows not what she means Lord
As her anguish is so strong within
She hears the steady drum of hooves outside
And then she hears her William’s voice
My darling ride away with me tonight
For love our marriage bed awaits
One hundred miles must we ride tonight
Before the first light of the dawn
Our marriage bed has room for both of us
Four sides, a bottom and a lid
So charging onward through the night
The sparks spurt, up the stones run round
And as they hurried through the gates
Her William’s armour fell away
Gone were the eyes that she fell in love with,
Gone the lips she longed to kiss
Now stands a morte with a grinning skull,
Draped in a cloak that hangs like mist
Takes you off on a journey, a journey filled with warm memories.
personally it reminds me of being at primary school on the late 70's, musical whispers from songs that you can't explain why it fills you with joy. James Campbell
I heard of these guys after an acquaintance picked up their vinyl and gave it a spin. "The Forest Church" had me hooked immediately. caffeinatedmetalhead
