The Boar Lay Slain Remix Lyrics
The boar lay slain on Bosworth Field
Too brave to flee to proud to kneel
And then a dragon claimed the land
With poisoned tongue and crooked hand
And those who welcomed him would rue
When the red drake took his due
And then they laboured beneath his claw
As greed and lies replaced the law
The boar lay slain on Bosworth Field
Too brave to flee to proud to kneel
And then a dragon claimed the land
With poisoned tongue and crooked hand
Five centuries would pass before
The resurrection of the boar
As scholarship and loyalty
Free him from earth and calumny
The boar lay slain on Bosworth Field
Too brave to flee to proud to kneel
And then a dragon claimed the land
With poisoned tongue and crooked hand
Five centuries would pass before
The resurrection of the boar
As scholarship and loyalty
Free him from earth and calumny
Too brave to flee to proud to kneel
And then a dragon claimed the land
With poisoned tongue and crooked hand
When the red drake took his due
And then they laboured beneath his claw
As greed and lies replaced the law
Too brave to flee to proud to kneel
And then a dragon claimed the land
With poisoned tongue and crooked hand
The resurrection of the boar
As scholarship and loyalty
Free him from earth and calumny
Too brave to flee to proud to kneel
And then a dragon claimed the land
With poisoned tongue and crooked hand
The resurrection of the boar
As scholarship and loyalty
Free him from earth and calumny
