"Bordeaux Red" lyrics


UK SUBS LYRICS

"Bordeaux Red"

When we reached the lands of Gascony to claim the jewel of France
Ephemeral though his quest may be, I recall the lion danced
From the filth of Angouleme we made our ravenous march
Butchers, thieves, and fallen men, an army of the damned

All in the name of God and the kingdom come
Drenched in the wine of the dead
Bordeaux red [x4]

The moon's horn tilted to the East, throbbed like a wounded snake
Armies of disputing kingdoms embraced by an azure lake
Fear and hate of necessity possess then dissipate
In mud, bile and blood, torn flesh and the bones I break

All in the name of God and the kingdom come
Drenched in the wine of the dead
Bordeaux red [x4]

How many lives were sacrificed for the comfort of majesty
Their war would last a hundred years, but what became of me?
Home amongst the vermin in a cheap-side hostelry
Poverty's scent and sickness are served up generously

All in the name of God and the kingdom come
Drenched in the wine of the dead
Bordeaux red [x8]
