Testo The Blood Ran Deep

By dawn's early light
A terrifying sight lay revealed
Where there once had been a vale of green
Now lay destruction

The legend told of the scene of a massacre
Eleven thousand young brave hearts were lost
Draped in the flags of their fathers they fought and fell Before the fading light said farewell

The blood ran deep
Into the virgin soil
Their blood ran deep
Common blood and royal

They'd marched South to war
With confidence and Rome on their side
While the Nobles on the front line stood proud
Too soon they would die

Among the bodies of pikemen and reivers
Lay the remnants of the great king himself
Whose sovereign blood joined a flowing red river Now at one with his subjects to rest

The blood ran deep
Into the virgin soil
Their blood ran deep
Common blood and royal

In lands to the North
One day in September is marked
By a clash so ferocious
The very earth itself felt the scar

The legend told of the scene of a massacre
Eleven thousand young brave hearts were lost
Draped in the flags of their fathers they fought and fell
Before the fading light said farewell

The blood ran deep
Into the virgin soil
Their blood ran deep
Common blood and royal

The blood ran deep
The blood ran deep
Common blood and royal
