THE SCOURGE OF GOD
Clothed in gold, in silver, iron,
Secrets safe for evermore;
Mighty Tisza, roaring lion
Here doth lie The Scourge of God.
Gold for Wealth and gold from quarry
A tribute for the gift of life;
Birthright to a king and warrior
Taken from the foes now dead.
Silver for the god of lune-night
Riding over homeland plains
Glint of amulet in moonlight
Heralding the Eastern horde.
Iron for the strength of many,
Iron for a single heart;
Few will ever match, if any,
Terrors of The Scourge of God.
Scourge of King and Roman Caesar,
Scourge of all who stood before;
Flow forever, mighty Tisza.
Flow forever.

Many thanks Jennifer, Po, Bryan and Kev. I'm sure you'll all have 'got it' but it tells the story of the burial of Attila the Hun.
