The Half Angel
Such a warm September evening
Thoughts of harvest had me thinking
From my office my soul destroyed
To the museum which I so enjoyed
An angel arrived at the close of the day
A metal detectorist called to say
Something he had discovered
A piece of history maybe recovered
Dave Bethell held it in his hand
When I saw it I could understand
His excitement for a special find
The discovery of a lifetime in his mind
A gold half angel so very rare
See the boar's head just there
The king's arms on the reverse
But would this coin be a gold curse
A metal detectorist dream come true
News travels fast and soon we knew
Of offers sinister and absurd
For that gold coin of Richard the Third
The devil rides upon your back
And your faith it will attack
But an angel gave me belief
To defy the rich collecting thief
Thoughts of harvest had me thinking
From my office my soul destroyed
To the museum which I so enjoyed
An angel arrived at the close of the day
A metal detectorist called to say
Something he had discovered
A piece of history maybe recovered
Dave Bethell held it in his hand
When I saw it I could understand
His excitement for a special find
The discovery of a lifetime in his mind
A gold half angel so very rare
See the boar's head just there
The king's arms on the reverse
But would this coin be a gold curse
A metal detectorist dream come true
News travels fast and soon we knew
Of offers sinister and absurd
For that gold coin of Richard the Third
The devil rides upon your back
And your faith it will attack
But an angel gave me belief
To defy the rich collecting thief
