Of Once And Future Kings Songtext

All the ladies of court gather roundJoined in heavenly fairGathering promises of future heroesYoung faith it is all as you goRed light and green light and men in their armorAnd fight for the queen if you dareIt's a long way to go to test out your mettleLong way to go to go downWe go round and roundWe go downGo downCourier says we lost our familyThere's 21 left, that's allWe were given no quarter because of thy artLeaving us nothing at allTell me what would we doWhat would we sayThey'll be killing us all in the wildTaking our homes, killing wives and childrenLeaving us nothing at allAnd I'll write them a letterI said forgive us our wrongAnd please grant us this favor, sirForgive us quick, or runOr run, or run,Or runAll the ladies of court gather roundJoined in heavenly fairGathering promises of future heroesYoung faith it is all as you goRed light and green light and men in their armorAnd fight for the queen if you dareIt's a long way to go to test out your mettleA long way to go to go downGo downYou better go down, down, downYou better go down
