How Do You Rebury a King (2025 Version) Lyrics

How do you rebury a king
When winter turns into spring
Soil from a field where he died
Can the old history be denied

Some came to gaze
Some came to praise
Some criticised
And some were wise

How do you rebury a king
When winter turns into spring
Soil from a place called Fotheringhay
In this tomb forever to stay

Some came to gaze
Some came to praise
Some criticised
And some were wise

Some came to gaze
Some came to praise
Some criticised
And some were wise

How do you rebury a king
When winter turns into spring
Soil from Middleham in his grave
English heritage to try and save

Some came to gaze
Some came to praise
Some criticised
And some were wise

Some came to gaze
Some came to praise
Some criticised
And some were wise

Some came to gaze
Some came to praise
Some criticised
And some were wise

Some came to gaze
Some came to praise
Some criticised
And some were wise
