Awaking in a sweat<br />Forsaking pleasure for regret<br />Another night of blight had slowly passed<br />The morning skies once fresh and bright<br />Darkened down no near twilight<br />Once could smell the end of days were coming fast<br /><br />Gilles wandered as in purgatory<br />Beyond the grave of his estate<br />Neither Heaven, Hell or peasantry<br />Were present save projected hatred<br /><br />He knew suspicion, he felt derision<br />And grief like a sharpened stake<br />Pierce his heart, and now the start<br />Of his unknitting began to take<br /><br />Vain glorious, a Lord, devout?<br />He thought his soul exempt<br />From guilt and doubt, there's no way out<br />Ten leagues beneath contempt<br /><br />(He drank an ocean quoting Joan the maiden<br />A vampire's pious rant<br />His hot blood stank of devotion laden<br />With bias for love's covenant)<br /><br />Awaking in a sweat<br />Forsaking pleasure for regret<br />His choired chapel sighed with his laments<br />As accusations reached a roar<br />Investigations breached the door<br />He put up nothing save his favours in defense<br /><br />The Church stirred in it's Roman lair<br />The grease had long been spent<br />Now all tongues spat at Tiffauges there<br />Ten leagues beneath contempt<br /><br />Just one falter<br />One misplaced deed<br />And Gilles would be undone<br />As he teetered on the verge of defeat<br /><br />Profaning God's altar<br />Bursting in on evening Mass<br />He threatened there to crucify the priest<br /><br />Drunk on fiery wine<br />With the storm lashing behind<br />He then threw this Philistine<br />To his foulest dungeon<br /><br />And money owed or not<br />The Priest released or left to rot<br />His blatant sacrilege begot<br />A war machine of papal Rome<br /><br />They came for him in mourning splendour<br />With the blessing of the Saints<br />His fawning grin in sweet surrender<br />A lesson in enforced restraint<br /><br />He knew suspicion, he felt derision<br />And fear like a sharpened stake<br />Pierce his heart, and now the start<br />Of his unknitting began to take<br /><br />He thought courts bought with golden crowns<br />Rich Bishops he could tempt<br />But traitor's gate was sought and found<br />Ten leagues beneath contempt<br /><br />Ten leagues beneath contempt
