Special Death

A terrible mistake was made The weight would break the backs Of ten strong horses tried to save The castle in the fray If you knew that I could take the pain Inflicted at the battle With faithful arrows you Might get back in the saddle But it's a special death you saved For me, the brown-eyed daughter Once you made it hotter The thankless, holy praise Is left alone, why bother To cast a stone in water? La, la, la, la, la (La, la, la, la-la, la) La-la, la, la La, la, la, la-la-la (La, la, la, la-la, la) La-la, la, la La, la, la, la-la-la (La, la, la, la-la, la) La-la, la, la La, la, la, la-la-la
