Falconer - The Priory lyrics
[Falconer - The Priory lyrics]
On northern waves the dragons ride
Heaven shall mourn what darkness will scorn
On the day when prayers die
The omens spoke of a rising beast
That sailed out from eastern shores
Brethren will cry and angels will sigh
On the day of the fiendish force
A-a-a-h, the priory burned
A-a-a-h, aflame and ablaze
The heathen horde struck from the sea
Like a cut from a tempered blade
In black the day was hung by the foreign
Dragons’ tongue
On the day of the sinister raid
A plundered parish by pagan plague
Perished under the autumn clouds
Their embers went cold as fate did unfold
And wrapped them in a solacing shroud
