Who lost the crown, but won the scorn 
Of Lady Margaret's deep disdain

By a never-ending string
Suffocation is...

Opening for me a whole new world different from my...

Winding paths, waterways or cobblestones roads

Her life a whirlwind, with...

In their forest so pure
 
This band of commoners
Go against...

Something inside that kept her alive.
Something she just couldn't free.

She had something special.
Something the whole world could see.
Something inside that kept them alive.
Something that turns like the sea.

Among the cries of lonesome gull
  A crude cross-slash, grinning skull

  Below the tattered crimson sail
  Those that did weather the fiercest gale
  Noblemen fearfully bow
  Seamen kneel before its...

I travel on my donkey
Everywhere to village and every town miles apart
With a feather in my hat and my Mandolin
With a whistle and a song within my heart
