Lanercost |
| The priests go down to the river to fish for Friday’s meal |
| The King is brooding day and night |
| Black with hate, cursing fate |
| To be ill when the foe is in sight |
| The priests they kneel in the chancel in solemn peaceful prayer |
| The King is laughing, grim and slow |
| Three brothers die, he hung them high |
| On a gibbet they died a cruel show |
| Kyrie eleison |
| The priests they crouch o’er their books and scratch away at history |
| The King he rises from his bed |
| Leads his men, rides again |
| But before he sees the border he is dead |
| The priests they walk in procession with the coffin of state |
| The King he leaves his work undone |
| It is his fate, despite his hate |
| That his foe lives on to fight his son |
| Kyrie eleison |
| Christe eleison |
