Fields of Treason

Two thousand Frenchmen were in on the kill
In the fields and the lands under Ambion Hill
The land was wet and the going was rough
As the shot and the arrow rained down from above
The bright coloured banners drift in the breeze
Soldiers lay dying cut down to their knees
The rush of the arrow like rain from the sky
The slash of the sword and the fierce battle cries
Treason..... Fields of Treason
The men of the dragon soon turned the tide
As Stanley joined Henry and moved to his side
Then Richard the King led his cavalry in
With long swords and lances they charged on and on
Then Sir William Brandon breathed his last breath
As King Richard's lance struck him deep in the chest
The red dragon standard was boldly struck down
But Henry and Stanley still held their ground
Treason..... Fields of Treason
Halberds and axes clanging like bells
The English and Welsh like trees they were felled
Stanley's betrayal of Richard the King
Brought shadow and darkness over the land
The King was unhorsed as he fought in the fray
Trying to turn that ill-fated day
Brave English soldiers fell all around
As Henry Tudor stole Richard's crown
Treason..... Fields of Treason
King Richard's body was battered and torn
Strapped to his saddle and slung on his horse
Carried to Leicester there to be shown
And now Henry Tudor claims Richard's throne
Remember King Richard and all of his men
Who once spilled their blood on marsh field and fen
Shrouded in mystery, clouded in lies
Over the years we still hear them cry
Treason..... Fields of Treason
