from Astounding Songs by The Legendary Ten Seconds

/

about

A song about the squires of the Duke of Gloucester who were killed at the Battle of Barnet in 1471.

lyrics

Young Thomas Parr killed on Easter day
As the morning mist slowly fades away
Revealing the dead bodies fallen on the ground
The aftermath of battle scattered all around

The valiant young squires of sacred Easter day
For their souls young Richard he would pray

John Milewater killed on Easter day
As the morning mist slowly fades away
The humble and the mighty fallen on the ground
Including the Kingmaker whose name is so renowned

The valiant young squires of sacred Easter day
For their souls young Richard he would pray

Buried in London's church of the Greyfriars
A noble resting place for the Duke of Gloucester's squires

The valiant young squires of sacred Easter day
For their souls young Richard he would pray

The valiant young squires of sacred Easter day
For their souls young Richard he would pray
