The Legacy of Anne Boleyn

She stands all alone in a court full of men An innocent woman condemned The charges are great, she's resigned to her fate She knows she will die in the end Though she is in despair she's standing tall there She knows she has committed no sin But these cowards, these men will find her guilty and then Seal the fate of Queen Anne Boleyn On the 19th of May that terrible day From her room in the tower she's taken If they thought she cry and plead not to die They were very mistaken With words clear and strong she denies any wrong With no quiver or break in her voice The swordsman stands by with a tear in his eye But he knows that he has no choice One swing of the sword as she praises the Lord And she's gone in the middle of prayer The King is away he is hunting that day Its clear that he doesn't care That sword gave her peace it gave her release It finished the fear and the pain “Death rocked her to sleep and her memory we keep Each May again and again Anne's death wasn't in vain though she suffered great pain Her daughter went on to be A wonderful Queen, the best there has been That was her great legacy.
