Battle in the Mist

Lord Hastings against the Earl of Oxford
Hastings left wing was outflanked
And a brave advance in the mist
Quickly turned into a rout

And the Earl of Warwick prayed for victory
Against foes who were once his protégés
And the Earl of Warwick prayed for victory
Against foes who were once his protégés

The Earl of Oxford's men gave chase
They thought the battle had been won
Unaware of other Yorkist foes
Concealed in the morning mist

And the Earl of Warwick prayed for victory
Against foes who were once his protégés
And the Earl of Warwick prayed for victory
Against foes who were once his protégés

In the centre of battle were King Edward's men
Pressing loyal John Neville hard
Further along the Duke of Gloucester
A brave young son of York

The Earl of Oxford regrouped his men
And by mistake attacked John Neville's flank
By chance King Edward was victorious
In the battle in the morning mist

And the Earl of Warwick turned to flee
But was killed in the Yorkist victory
And the Earl of Warwick turned to flee
But was killed in the Yorkist victory
