1
My Lord King Charles
2
A state of crisis has emerged
3
For you've incurred the wrath
4
Of the Lombard King
5
Desiderius
6
Cast his daughter aside
7
And took another for your wife
8
He has taken offence
9
And it's too late to make amends
10
Our papal lands
11
Have been occupied by force
12
And fallen to the hands
13
Of the barbarian horde
14
For too long that vile race
15
Has remained a threat
16
To papal authority
17
That scheming Lombard King
18
Is flouting his debt wilfully
19
We must stand up and wage war
20
This has gone on for too long
21
It's in all of our interests to subdue them
22
Once and for all
23
My Lord and Holy Father
24
This I pledge to thee
25
Like my fathers before me
26
I shall fight for the Holy City
27
My Lord and Holy Father
28
I pledge thee my loyalty
29
I shall see this Holy City
30
Restored to its former glory
31
It has been three hundred years
32
Since 'cross the Alps came
33
Those faithless lepers
34
To usurp the lands
35
Of their peace-loving neighbours
36
Encroaching closer upon Rome
37
Their leaders wanted to
38
Capture it for their own
39
And now King Desiderius
40
Has started to harass us
41
Your father was a champion of the Church
42
An agent of civilisation in the western world
43
Chosen to lead the people to the cross
44
The time is once more upon us
45
To look to our old friends
46
As your fathers before you
47
Came to our defence
48
And you are/I a am the chosen one
49
To lead the faithless to the cross
50
In His Empire in the west
51
O'er the Lord's flock you/I keep the watch
52
And with the authority vested in me
53
I shall claim the Iron Crown of Lombardy
54
Come springtime
55
The last of the alpine blasts had blown
56
The franks are still encamped
57
By the banks of the river Po
58
The son of Desiderius to
59
Byzantium had flown
60
The banks of the river Po
61
Are swelled by the melting snows
