Hawkwood Lyrics

Verse

PAPAL DESPOTS WIELDING WORLDY POWER
REIGN OF MADNESS FROM SAINT PETER'S THRONE
SECRET PLOTS OF UNDERWORLD TACTICIANS
INTERDICTION DEPLOYED FROM ROME

DANGER MONEY PAYED BY FEAR FOR SAFETY
TO MEN AT ARMS OF BRIGANDRY DEFINED

FEW AND FAR BETWEEN ARE WORTHY FIGHTERS
VALOR AND CHIVALRY NOW MIS-ALIGNED

Pre-Chorus

IN THE GUISE OF FAITH
CAMPAIGNS OF GREED
HOLY THREATS WILL PLANT THE SEED
IN THE NAME OF GOD
WAR PLANS ARE DRAWN
THE REPUBLIC KNEELS TO KNIGHTLY BRAWN
Chorus

A MERCENARY ENTERPRISE ENDEAVOR
AMBASSADOR TO THE PAPAL COURT IN ROME
HAIL SIR HAWKWOOD THE HOLIEST AVENGER
FOREVER IMMORTALIZED BENEATH THE DOME
WITHIN THE HOLY CITY'S SECRET CHAMBERS
FATES OF NATIONS MALICIOUSLY DESIGNED

HOLY MONEY FUELS THE BLESSED ARMIES
MILITARY MADNESS IN AN AGE REFINED

SAVIOR OF THE FLORENTINE REPUBLIC
MERCENARY HAWKWOOD'S NAME DIVINE

VALIANT HERO OF THE HIGHEST ORDER
HIS ARMIES GLEAMING ARMOUR WILL FOREVER SHINE
