Autumn Rain Lyrics

I THOUGHT THE DELUGE WOULD NEVER CEASE
WHEN THE HEAVENS OPENED IT DID RELEASE
SUCH ENDLESS RAIN I HAD NEVER SEEN
THAT AUTUMN RAIN AND A TRAITOR'S SCHEME
BUCKINGHAM'S BETRAYAL IN OCTOBER
A REBELLION SO QUICKLY OVER
THE MOST UNTRUE CREATURE LIVING
RICHARD'S ANGER SO UNFORGIVING
I THOUGHT THE DELUGE WOULD NEVER CEASE
WHEN THE HEAVENS OPENED IT DID RELEASE
SUCH ENDLESS RAIN I HAD NEVER SEEN
THAT AUTUMN RAIN AND A TRAITOR'S SCHEME
TO HENRY'S SHIP WE DID SHOUT
WE TRIED TO TEMPT THE TUDOR OUT
HIS FLEET SCATTERED BY THE STORM

HIS OWN VESSEL LOOKED SO FORLORN
AUTUMN RAIN. AUTUMN RAIN
AUTUMN RAIN. AUTUMN RAIN
AUTUMN RAIN. AUTUMN RAIN
AUTUMN RAIN
I THOUGHT THE DELUGE WOULD NEVER CEASE
WHEN THE HEAVENS OPENED IT DID RELEASE
SUCH ENDLESS RAIN I HAD NEVER SEEN
THAT AUTUMN RAIN AND A TRAITOR'S SCHEME
AS I RECALL THE SKY WAS GREY
FOR BUCKINGHAM ON THAT DAY
EXECUTED IN SALISBURY
HE'D BETRAYED KING RICHARD QUITE DREADFULLY
