The Citadel Is Free - Beau[00:00:00]
The changes from[00:00:08]
The Minster's spires[00:00:09]
Draw soldiers in from encampment fires[00:00:12]
To hear the tiding each desires;[00:00:15]
"The citadel is free "[00:00:19]
By the light of every soldier's torch[00:00:24]
The proclamation from the porch[00:00:28]
Gives each his reason for debauch [00:00:32]
The citadel is free [00:00:35]
The streets within the fortress throng [00:00:41]
The air is filled with soldiers' song[00:00:44]
Laments from where[00:00:48]
Their hearts belong [00:00:49]
The citadel is free [00:00:52]
The taverns there to take their gold[00:00:57]
Until the wine and ale is sold [00:01:01]
Until the sun relieves the cold [00:01:04]
The citadel is free [00:01:08]
At early light the fortress gate[00:01:14]
Is trundled open to await[00:01:17]
The column to relieve its fate[00:01:21]
The citadel is free [00:01:25]
But then without[00:01:30]
A word or prayer[00:01:31]
The garrison becomes aware[00:01:34]
The enemy is standing there[00:01:38]
The citadel is free [00:01:41]
Their horses on the street obey[00:01:47]
And crush the skulls[00:01:50]
Where still they lay[00:01:51]
And with a final short affray [00:01:54]
The citadel is free [00:01:58]
The Bishop's door at midnight groans [00:02:03]
He picks a way amongst the stones [00:02:07]
The silver pieces and the bones [00:02:11]
The citadel is free[00:02:14]
The silver pieces and the bones [00:02:20]
The citadel is free[00:02:23]
