    A medieval style cover of a song released in 2019 that was written to sound like it was from 1969 and went viral in 2022. I love the internet.

      To me, it sounds more like a story of a peasant who's content living as a commonfolk, just gazing at the beautiful sunrise, taking in the sweet fresh scent of early morning as they herd their livestock. But I agree on that motion nonetheless, it does fit a love story as well.

    So beautiful. The song, the medieval settings and the lyrics of the original song conjures up so many memories. I couldn't help writing a cover of sort of the lyrics. It doesn't fit the melody, but in the setting where all this happened, nothing really added up. For you Mary.
    Soul of a warrior and lady of the bloody blade
    when all those lights are out and all those dues are paid
    - do you really think we've come to the end of the crusade?
    Don't think you are the heroes although battered and bruised
    When will it dawn on you just how much you got used?
    When will you see that it was you who were the fools
    to think the biggest baddest boys will stick to their own rules?
    And now you're trying to buy back the souls you sold
    But you're running in a cage and you're chasing fool's gold
    You go down like a bloody Mary
    looking for a savior that you'll get someone to marry
    bloody Mary, Mary on a cross
    you never saved anyone with that behavior
    Bloody Mary, never cross the cross
    Soldier of a bloody fortune, It's time to end the wars you wage
    with stolen power as a self-appointed sage
    Thinking you're a godsend and a ruler and a boss
    Bloody Mary, Mary, mary on a cross
    But all your dancing can never cover up your loss
    Bloody Mary, never cross the cross
    You go down like a bloody Mary
    wholly unholy with the greedy and the scary
    bloody Mary, Mary on a cross
    that cross was never yours to carry
    Bloody Mary, never cross the cross
    Deep as the sea are the sorrows that you try to drench
    Mary in a mariana's trench
    Soldier of a bloody fortune, it's time to end the wars you wage
    with stolen power as a self-appointed sage
    Merry Mary once more will you laugh
    lost in the forest, on the winter moons be-half
    Yet all your efforts to get out always will always end in pain
    Trying to run away inside a cage is running in vain
    Why, kin, why won't you let me explain?
    If it really is your goal to save your long-lost soul
    lay down your weapons and return all that you stole
    Lay down bloody sword and leave the murderous hoard
    There's still time and there's a good ship that will take you aboard..
    if you swear to free the chosen, the child of silverbraid
    Give back all that you have stolen, there's no need to be afraid
    Just bow and pledge allegiance to the House of Silverbraid.
    And then kin, let me show you the end of the crusade.
