The Foul Deth of Engelond Lyrics by Sacred Son

The Foul Death of Engelond

0

Lord!
Author of the Light
Father, be our shepherd
I beg, have mercy on us
Serfdom
Injustice endures
I plough the field, harvest the corn
For naught; no silver crossed my palm
Toiling without recompense
Until the worksmen succumb to pestilence
Wealthy is he who shan't serve
Unless he receives the bounty he deserves
Though a royal command was decreed
The workеrs knew they had what landowners need
Lowеr orders unite to compress
Estates of society built to oppress
Battles won
Heavy is the cost
That knights and landholders must pay
Their bounties lost
Unjust
Make these farmhands pay
For far too long they take the spoils
This ends today
But 'twas not enough and the crown is pitiful
Too great a burden for a child's shoulders to bear
A country on its knees
The king, a child, can do naught to redress
Invasion from the North
Tension fuelling rumours of mass violence
Mutinous garrisons
Arrears to pay, armies are deserting
Proposals to levy
Villeins, rustics, ones of modest standing
Unjust!
The regent-elect
A tyrant, an autocrat
Peace secured in the north
The Duke returns to the child King's counsel
Implicit treachery
Leaders of men lost their jurisdiction
Farcical governance
A tax on those who can least incur it
Landowners determined
To shift the cost, the burden on to others
Go forth and take from the hand of the strapped
The day will come when we shall hold the whip
Through the murk and stench of death the archdeacon appears
Commands them to settle their debts and make good the arrears
And thus the fuse had now been lit, the seeds were sewn, and soon there will be war
Justice of the peace spoke thus with a forked tongue:
Now atone for these lies and hand over your debts
Chaos, disorder spread like a fire
Farm tools in their hands
You'll swear by their oath
Nobles in their ranks
Three heads on poles
Heed the dire warning:
The revolt is born!
