Death and Freedom

Revolution streaks the sky.
Tingles my skin like a gadfly
Sound of thunder, hear my cry!
Angel of death, pierce my side!
Immolate me in oil and lye.
God set me free!
God set me free!
Ignorance flows from the valley of death.
I flee from the creeping death.
Bubonic sores on my back,
Bruised skin, charred and black
Rats eat the bones of kings.
Rust grows on their golden rings.
Emperors in the desert land:
Fight for treasure in the sand....

Red and White (Inspired by Shakespeare's Henry VI Part 1-3 and Richard III)

Red and White

Pluck a bloom, pick a side.
Break the lion from inside.
Stain Britannia with children's blood
Banish the witch, who once was good
From the ashes, a hunchback will rise,
Whom all women will despise.
He'll win a maid, bewitch the isle,
Lock innocents in the tower,
Kill Albion's last white flower.
Pink rose will rule evermore.
Red and white will end their war.
