The child of a ruler
imprisoned by his own blood
caught in a struggle to take the thrown
jailed and thrown in the mud
he escaped in a time when his land was torn
a civil war raged on
they needed a leader to set them free
someone to rule

defeat of nations
more than a man but not a God
he brings down his hammer
and his enemies fall
the hammer of God changing the future
the hammer turning all threats to dust

he defeated invaders from the north and west
conquering saxons and all their lands
he strengthened his armies for a coming war
against the fiendish moors
at the battle of tours he was so outnumbered
with no hope in sight
men brought down their steele
taking the heads from the vipers
