God rest ye Merry Gentlemen, let nothing you dismay! I come here bearing roses that I now must give away Hoping one or two of you might shed some blood today- Oh Oh! Shed some blood for me. All my many brothers now you wear the same disguise Same white face of Pharisees and grey mistrusting eyes You know the blood that never spills is blood that never rise- Oh Oh! Shed some blood for me. Standing in your satin pants you think that I don't see Name of my sweet ancestor embroidered on your knee You! You wear a ring to torture me, it's like a globe. SongtexteOh. You were just a baby when I was already grown Lying limply on the floor when I was leaving home And now I've come from far away to stand upon my throne- Oh Oh! Shed some blood for me. Lying there behind me is a trunk upon a chain Wrapped inside it tightly is a purple cloak of twain I'd like to lay it on you now beneath your silver mane- Oh Oh! Shed some blood for me. Silver-haired soldier with the "V" upon your brow Never needed no one, got no way to feel it now You could be a soldier anyhow- it's just a game. Crying like a baby, it won't get you very far Better get down on your knees and kiss my silver star Lying in the Earth maybe you'll find out who you are- Oh Oh! Shed some blood for me.
