Crosses & Gunpowder

Lyrics

There was a time… when no one escaped. A pain of two sides… a holy fate. They killed to survive… an evil state. When all the pride… turned to hate. Guy Fawkes was his name… he had to die. Killed by King James… tortured & tried. They were never the same… the church had lied. The people became… a war of two sides. Castles & walls… behind church doors… crosses in halls… were all ignored. Battles & brawls… killing & more… now songs fall… to a cannon's roar. One side ruled… they had to fall. Guy held the fuse… to kill them all. Their time was due… blow up the hall. The kegs were new… gunpowder in all. For his kin… this must be done. My side wins… by morning's sun. Maybe a sin… for Jesus the son. Now war begins… light it and run. He didn't know… a letter betrayed. Warning the lords… to get out of the way. Caught in the cellar… at end of day. His fatal error… Guy chose to stay. Castles & walls… behind church doors… crosses in halls… were all ignored. Battles & brawls… killing & more… now songs fall… to a cannon's roar. We believe in one God… when all said & done. And the glory of love… from his only son. But pride of man… is where war begun. They had to stand… there was nowhere to run.
