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).
