Verse 1 The White Captain’s on the field, Wings and sword against the sky, Cold sun over drifting smoke, Brumenoir's banner flies. Verse 2 Our grandfathers fought him, They say he bleeds but will not die, Men will go to God this day, While English widows cry. Refrain Pray to God for Michael’s mercy, Pray your line is not the one he breaks. Pray to God for Michael’s mercy, When Brumenoir strides through your ranks. Verse 3 First you hear the drums go still, Then the shouting thins, Then you see the white and blue Where the smoke had been. Refrain Pray to God for Michael’s mercy, Pray your line is not the one he breaks. Pray to God for Michael’s mercy, When Brumenoir strides through your ranks. Verse 4 They say he fights for kings long gone, For oaths that do not fade, We just know when France stands up, They stand behind that blade. Verse 5 They cheered when his banner fell, Swore the charge was done, Then they saw him through the powder And the line began to run. Bridge Take your breath and hold your ground, He does not miss, he does not wait. When the White Captain strikes you down, Death comes fast and that’s your fate. Refrain Pray to God for Michael’s mercy, Pray your line is not the one he breaks. Pray to God for Michael’s mercy, When Brumenoir strides through your ranks. Outro Someone’s line is set to break, That’s how this day is paid. Pray it isn’t yours, my friend, As France has brought her blade. Final Refrain Pray to God for Michael’s mercy, Pray your line is not the one he breaks. Pray to God for Michael’s mercy, When Brumenoir strides through your ranks.
