about

A revengers tale inspire by The Canterbury Tales. Written about the fleeting nature of power in it's many forms.
The price of power is never being able to turn your back to those who you wield power over, and he who laughs last - you know the rest.

This is us in an unforgiving mood to the beat of a side drum.

lyrics

Take up arms we'll all be soldiers
Our battle lines drawn in the fields
We'll all be kings and all be saviours
But only a fool is king for a day

The Millers chain won't stop me now
Asleep in the barley that the wind don't bow
He'll keep a watch between the sails
but I'll return to twist the blade

Well now my master where do you wander
Over the hills and far away
Once so brave to keep us under
While safely preserved from this peasants grave

And from the fields like storm and thunder
Hear the voices ring the change
Don't turn back walk on forever
Now I've returned to twist the blade.
