Running Wild - Bloody Red Rose - Текст песни

In the war of the roses, the tragedy source

King Edward was bound to die

Richard III the new "lord protector"

Ruled with "loyalty me lie"

A vigilant guardian to the sons of the king

As sure as an eagle will fly

He died in a battle in 1485

And Henry defamed Richard with lies


Richard was charged in the "act of attainder"

With tyranny, murder and gain

Henry revoked the "titulus regulas"

With the smile of the vicious insane

Henry (8th?)that rotten bastard

Executed the whole house of York

Elizabeth Woodville was (injured?)for life

And Tyrrel the liar was aquitted by court


The poisoned thorns of the bloody red rose

Red venom of deepest dye

Henry the traitor, the victor by sin

Soiled Richard's blood with a grin


While Richard was ruling, the boys were alive

When he died the boys disappeared

Henry killed them to get onto the throne

But the book of truth was sealed

Henry paid Tyrrel to say that he had murdered

In the name of Sir Richard the brave

Henry killed Tyrrel without any trial

So Tyrrel took the truth to his grave


The poisoned thorns of the bloody red rose

Red venom of deepest dye

Henry the traitor, the victor by sin

Soiled Richard's blood with a grin

The poisoned thorns of the bloody red rose

Red venom of deepest dye

Henry the traitor, the victor by sin

Soiled Richard's blood with a grin.
