[Verse] Young Richard in the evening light A shadow falls on darkest night He learns his fate in whispers cold His heart a storm of grief untold [Verse 2] His father's gone beyond the veil Bloodied fields where dreams do fail A brother lost in noble strife Their heads on spikes a cruel knife [Chorus] Mother weeps in shadows deep For husband lost and sons asleep Her heart's a garden choked with weeds In sorrow's grip her spirit bleeds [Verse 3] A kingdom's clash in war's cruel grip The hands of fate with iron whip In York's grey streets the echoes cry A boy becomes a man by night [Verse 4] The ghosts of kin upon the breeze Their whispers through the ancient trees The weight of crown in future's hand A destiny he must command [Bridge] Grief so heavy like a stone In halls of legacy alone Richard’s eyes so young yet grim In shadows dark his light grows dim
