The Boy King Lyrics by Sacred Son

The Foul Death of Engelond

2022

[Instrumental intro]
[Verse 1]
Slay these villains
They are poorly armed and full of wine
Overnight raid presents a gamble, a groundless risk
The king met them again to hear them, their demands fair
Granting their calls
He then foolishly offered them more
[Hook]
Five heads on pikes
Five heads on pikes
Five heads on pikes
Five heads on pikes
[Verse 2]
The crown feeble and depleted
Powerless to halt the massacre
Foreign men killed for no good reason
Wealth provides no shield from the peril
[Hook]
Five heads on pikes
Five heads on pikes
Five heads on pikes
Five heads on pikes
[Verse 3]
Hallowed walls will grant no solace
Word had spread of their vile intentions
Capital would be burnt to the ground
One bishop; the rest executed
[Verse 4]
Dawn at Smithfield
Home to mirth, bloodshed
Now the king met
The Kentish general
[Instrumental]
[Verse 5]
His demands were the fantasy of a mad man
An insult to the king
The fatal blow dealt to the general
The king lead the rebels far away
[Verse 6]
He placed the general's head on wretched display
The rebellion reduced to embers
Their resolve and will to fight died
The king’s men made knights of the realm
