Fifteen Sixty One
They awoke at the dawn
To a sound they never heard before
They looked to the skies
And there it was
The balls, the crosses, the rods, so high
Up there in the sky
Then they fought
Til they would die
The balls would fall
The smoke would raise
So high in the sky
All around the sun
Blood-red it was
Up in the sky
Then a spear hung so high
Pointing west it was
High up in the sky
To this day
They don't know why
Or what it was
But it happened
So high in the sky
On that dawn in Fifteen Sixty One
