Sixteenth Century Greensleeves

------------------------------

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



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

Draw bridge down

Cut it to the ground

We shall dance around the fire



No more night

We have seen the light

Let it shine on bright

Hang him higher
