I set myself
In bygone time
Fantasize
On maidens fair
And fair white knights
In bygone time
Fantasize
On maidens fair
And fair white knights
This castle’s lords
Then I rethink
Erected stone
To stay the will of men
A time of battlements
And bulwarks
Steel armour
And the sword
As much to still
The other lords
In quest
Of greater power
The deep dark moats
And mortars
Kept the peasants
Out
So I reflect
On present times
We’ve new need
For castles
Perhaps it’s time
The one percent
The lords and all their vassals
Should fear again
The peasants?
