lyrics
Purge the words of yearning for true love.
I sang a song of longing for you, love.
Lord, let not the Devil place a curse on her -
And let not me die in pagan Mercia...
Pagan Mercia...
Nobody was certain of our crime, love.
The world must know that Englishmen need time, love.
Yesterday, Christ landed us for sacrifice.
Anyway, without your love, what's paradise?
What's paradise?
Yes, I know they're far from being angels yet.
Angels have no innocence. They have no sex.
Twilight's on the harvest on the Saxon shore -
And as the nights grow longer, love, I want you more.
I want you more.
All the rumours you've been hearing -
Nothing here at all.
Leaden skies, deserted clearings…
The shore's a bastion, the sea's a wall…
A thousand years of tears…
As angels fly away -
And I find my grave in the rolling waves.
I cast aside the dreams of all our wasted hours.
I sailed across the sea to curb the heathen power.
Soon the seasons turn from gold to marble, love.
Soon the wintry sea will freeze the harbour, love.
Freeze the harbour, love.
If doctrines of despair reveal the fall of man,
Let Satan's work begin in this forsaken land.
This ragged earth will hold me in its grave’s grasp, love,
At last, love.
