NEW KINGS FOR OLD, by                    
First Line: Suffer not the old kings
Last Line: On the battlefields of god.
Subject(s): Courts & Courtiers


Suffer not the old Kings,
Let their fame depart,
We shall have a new breed
Of the eagle heart.

They shall shine with valor,
They shall greatly dare,
They shall live with venture,
They shall ride the air.

They shall launch new navies,
Riding safe at ease
High above the tempest
On the shoreless seas.

No, nor weary marches
Shall distress these Kings,
They shall span high arches
On triumphant wings.

They shall rule new kingdoms
Built on virgin sod,
Theirs the Winged Victory
On the battlefields of God.
