about

French mercenary warriors participating in Queen Isabella’s invasion forces drink together one last time before leaving to cross the English channel. The Queen, fully intending on personally leading these men into battle, disguises herself as a man and joins in the drunken celebration. Her lover and co-conspirator Sir Roger Mortimer ponders her unfortunate and unwomanly obsession with participating in the violent affairs of men.

lyrics

Raise your drink up to the sky
Then look away and wonder why
There is knowledge locked in you
That you know what my soul would do

Flaxen hair and dead gray eyes
Go and live or stay and die
Fight alongside men who pray
That victory won’t mean parting ways

Your lips are dry
Breath like wine
Your lips are dry
So close to mine

In another place
A different time
Another age it passes by

Drink to me, I’ll drink to you
We’ll drink until the day is new
Flaxen hair and dead gray eyes
Go and live or stay and die

Your lips are dry
Breath like wine
Your lips are dry
So close to mine

In another age
A different time
The ancient gods for us deny
This kiss of steel becomes my bride
In a different place
Another time
