Blackmore’s Night - 16th Century Greensleeves lyrics

[Blackmore’s Night - 16th Century Greensleeves lyrics]

It's only been an hour
Since he locked her in the tower
The time has come he must be undone
By the morning

Many times before
The tyrant's opened up the door
Then someone cries still we close our eyes
Not again not again
Meet me when the sun is in the Western skies
The fighting must begin before
Another someone dies
Crossbows in the fire light
Green sleeves waving madmen raving
Through the shattered night

Flames are getting higher
Make it leap unto the spire drawbridge down
Cut it to the ground
We shall dance around around the fire

Meet me when the sun is in the Western skies
The fighting must begin before
Another someone dies
Crossbows in the fire light
Green sleeves waving madmen raving
Through the shattered night

Meet me when the sun is in the Western skies
The fighting must begin before
Another someone dies
Crossbows in the fire light
Green sleeves waving madmen raving
Through the shattered night
Green sleeves waving madmen raving
Through the shattered night

(No more night) no more night
We have seen the light
Let it shine on bright

Hang him higher drawbridge down
Cut it to the ground

We shall dance around around the fire
Green sleeves waving madmen raving
Through the shattered night
