The Warlord came to England with a Crusader's sword
Sworn to God to carry out his Vows and Obligations
Medieval Britain , a Druid and Pagan Realm
Given to Idolising , Natures Great and Lesser Lights
This Holy Warrior a Norman , true to the Cross
Sought to build a bridgehead to Jerusalem's Holy Walls
Setting up his Fiefdom in rural ancient land
To tame the heathen Gods of Earth , Wind , and Fire
A Pagan village girl with fair and golden hair
Sweet brown eyed Angel , virgin , pure and fine
Bethrothed to another
Caught the Warlord's eye
Captivated by her beauty
The Warlord's heart was lost
Sacred was the merging , of hearts and souls that day
Destiny had decided , this was God's settled will
A Holy Configuration , appeared in the celestial skies
The night the Crusader Warlord , took her for his bride
Consummated Love , passionatelty and persistently given
A new life created , and sanctified in ritual rite
Into the mysterious ethers , of Gothic Blessed Time
The Warlord and his Pagan Wife On white steed
Vanished out of sight
Leaving in their trailing wake , as a Mark of Unconditional Love
The immortal and living words " I too am Bewitched "
