Lyrics
Winter was long in the King's troubled state
He prayed the Pope would avail
"If my wife can not an heir for me make
Grant me divorce from hell"
But his answer came not in a favorable way
Henry denied and disgraced
So he swore then to burn every Vatican trace
England would rise in its place
Dissolution tears down the monasteries
Reformation drives in the stake
Out of the madness, a man for all seasons
Discovers what he covets costs when love is lost
Proud in no sadness, no rhyme, just one reason
"Give me a son, for I have none
I won't let God get in my way"
1509 Was a moment in time
Judas ascends to the throne
Henry would try to establish his line
Legitimatus to Rome
So he made the divorcees of Aragon and Cleves
Beheaded, howl and forlorn
Lady Seymour, she died, only Paul would survive
Edward the sixth would be king
Dissolution tears down the monasteries
Reformation drives in the stake
Out of the madness, a man for all seasons
Discovers what he covets costs when love is lost
Proud in no sadness, no rhyme, just one reason
"Give me a son, for I have none
I won't let God get in my way"
Dissolution tears down the monasteries
Reformation drives in the stake
Church of England rises to majesty
Catholicism lies in its wake
Out of the madness, a man for all seasons
Discovers what he covets costs when love is lost
Proud in no sadness, no rhyme, just one reason
"Give me a son, now I have one
I won't let God get in my way"
