Two Sacred Oaks

Forefather


Bold they came from north and from south with hungry sword in hand
There to face the conquering prince, bane of the borderlands
Warriors famed in all of the realm, enforcers of their king
Behold the sway of Godwin's sons, the purging power they bring

Turning tides, bitterness rising as scheming foes connive
Faithless men turn on their master, betray the doomed lord's life
Tamed in war, ruthlessly crushed by the noble siblings' might
Thrown before victorious feet is the severed head as prize

Strong and glorious, two sacred oaks stand
Fighting brothers of a cloud-born land
Awesome towers hold aloft the skies
Dark is the dawning sun should future strife arise

Anger, frustrations swirl, rebels defy the earl
Brother sent by the king, crisis, calamity
He can't absolve the sin, kingdom before own kin
Judgement, the earl deposed, banished, exiled

Strong and glorious, two sacred oaks stand
Fighting brothers of a cloud-born land
Awesome towers hold aloft the skies
Dark is the dawning sun should future strife arise
