ODE TO THE YEOMANN

Enter the fortress fell
Take on the queen and over the citadel
Let them soak up the drool of your omen
Kill off your foes anon
Wait for the rustics to take over Avalon
Would that the power pass to the Yeomann
He will lead the rebellion of the laudable Saxons
Don’t hold a grudge we can’t help it
After all we are only human
Climb down the spire skull
Using the flaxen hair of Rapunzel
Follow the shadow cast by the gnomon
We saw the damsel die
It’s not like we cowered, it’s not like we didn’t try
Now we weep at the foot of her dolmen
We are nearing aphelion
The last bits of heat have been siphoned
They look to me as the suspect
Would that I had such a weapon
Then we sing of the specter to come
Then we felt the unsettling thrum
Of her cryptic arrival
And the birth of a faction
Then came the Thane with the cicatrix
Under his eye in the shape of crucifix
He will lead the rebellion of the laudable Saxons
The Yeomann retreats into darker days
While meteors are flinging from trebuchets
We are none with out motive
We sequester it willingly
Abandon the fortress fallen
Under the siege of human consumption
Don’t hold a grudge we can’t help it
After all we are only human
We are only human
We are only human
