Lyrics
The Last English King
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
At dusk, the English made their last stand
I made a stand with the few
The long-haired star
The housecarls
The feeling is we’re facing something new
You are the dawn of an ending
I am the last English king
We smashed the Norse in the North
We threw them back into the sea
But you’ll burn our books
You’ll burn our homes
You’ll burn our children too
You are the dawn of an ending
I am the last English king
Rex Anglorum – nananana
At dusk the English
Made their last stand
I made a stand with the few
300 miles to Senlac
The feeling is we’re facing something new
You are the dawn
Of an ending
I am the last English king
