letra de to serve the lily - ken theriot

Loading...

the sun rose on the morning of my years
and fortune offered me a n0ble goal:
to stand as first of france’s cavaliers
to fight with pride, and live by my parole
with charles the dauphin lettered, schooled, and squired
and trained to do whatever was required
to serve the lily

too early called to duty and display
a dozen years, and then a throne and crown
yet known as “well-beloved”, le bien aimé
my king was destined ever for renown
but madness took the scepter from his hand
yet still, i journeyed forth at his command
to serve the lily

in tournament i sought for no reward
but glory for the lily on my shield
in genoa, made governor and lord
in far constantinople, forced to yield
but ransom paid, i journeyed forth once more
to answer duty’s call and ride to war
and serve the lily

at azincourt i joined my friend d’albret
our forces massed, our strategy agreed
but princes will not follow and obey
nor suffer common men to plan and lead
before day’s end, i knew our cause was lost
but still i fought on, heedless of the cost
to serve the lily

i fell a captive, taken as a prize
and knelt to english henry in my shame
i saw a soldier’s soldier in his eyes
and in his word and deed no hint of blame
he marries royal catherine, heir of france;
may god provide them sons, and grant their chance
to serve the lily

at sunset now my evensong i sing
and pray before i close my eyes to sleep
i dream that i am riding with my king
a world to win, and honor still to keep;
with henry will my faith at last abide
as we ride out together, side by side
to serve the lily

et nous montons ensemble, côte á côte
servir le lys
