There was a Blood-and-sand storm

Over the city, that summer

And it stirred a deep mutiny

Awake from it's slumber.

It moved in the minds

and the hearts of the boys

Who we've followed this far,

And who now are destroyed,

Even though they were daring

And hot-blooded and bold

In the end left them lifeless,

And static, and cold.

All over the city,

They rang out the bells,

And the boys' tragic story

Was told in each knell.

These princes were taken

To Azrael's halls

Thanks to our hatred

Our enmity and brawls

With the white prince demolished

And the black martyr dead,

Let the two houses know,

Both are punished.

So here's to the lovers

Their joy and their woes

Here's to Sam Brandy,

And his bright-eyed Jack Rose.

(Yes, here's to our Jack,

and his black Romeo).
