The poisoned thorns of the bloody red rose
Henry paid Tyrrel to say that he had murdered
The poisoned thorns of the bloody red rose
Henry the traitor, the victor by sin
Richard, the third, the new Lord protector
A vigilant guardian to the sons of the king
With the smile of the vicious insane
The poisoned thorns of the bloody red rose
With tyranny, murder and gain
Red venom of deepest dye
Ruled with loyalty me lie
Soiled Richard's blood with a grin
Red venom of deepest dye
Red venom of deepest dye
Soiled Richard's blood with a grin
Richard was charged in the act of attainder
So Tyrrel took the truth to his grave
As sure as an eagle will fly
The poisoned thorns of the bloody red rose
And Tyrrel the liar was acquitted by court
And Henry defamed Richard with lies
But the book of truth was sealed
Henry the traitor, the victor by sin
He died in a battle in 1485
Henry, the traitor, the victor by sin
Henry, the traitor, the victor by sin
When he died, the boys disappeared
Soiled Richard's blood with a grin
Henry killed Tyrrel without any trial
Executed the whole house of York
While Richard was ruling, the boys were alive
Henry revoked the titulus regulas
Red venom of deepest dye
In the name of Sir Richard, the brave
Henry killed them to get onto the throne
Elizabeth Woodville was [Incomprehensible] for life
Henry the seventh, that rotten bastard
