Aquitaine from Mad Moonlighters by Silver Hunter

Oh Queen Alienor,
Queen of the Atlantic shores
Now married to Henry she rules us no more
Once united something was ignited
Now separated by this cruel war

Oh Aquitaine,
when will I see your fair shores again?
'cause soon I’ve got to go – 'cause I am a Huguenot

Eleanor married an English King
Soon we lost the Kingdom of the Angevin
A kingdom that stretched across two lands
An empire that turned to sand

Aquitaine, in the mists of time
I can see the town of my birth
Aquitaine, one day I'll return
and find the long lost mirth. Aquitaine!

Oh Aquitaine, when will I see
your fair shores again?
'cause soon I’ve got to go –
'cause I am a Huguenot

Oh Aquitaine, when will I see
your bastides again?
I miss my claret vine I miss my faithful wife

Queen Alienor, betrayed by your own sons
Now imprisoned, you cry in Chinon
Far from your wild Garonne
And the proud Dordogne castles,
The towers of war

Queen Alienor, Queen of Kings,
Queen of hearts
Queen of the troubadours, Queen of wisdom
I miss your heydays of arts and freedom
Your son Richard is no more

Aquitaine, in the mists of time
I can see the town of my birth
Aquitaine, one day I'll return
and find the long lost mirth
Aquitaine!
