Gaillard's Fall

The crimson clouds colour the sky On a day's end of 1204 Behind the walls, the warriors cry Moon is rising on gaillard fort Raise the banners Hold the ranks Defend your home The seat machine crushes the door August's army invades the place Blood covers slabs and trickle on floor And despair appears on normans faces Raise the banners Hold the ranks Send them to hell The last fortress burns in twilight The last soldiers resist in vain And under burning dungeon's light Normandy joins royal domain Drop the banners Break the ranks Flee for your lives
