Alcuin Of York (Lyrics and Music Tim Hunter)
Old Wine Of Ancient Learning
Old Wine
Old Wine Of Ancient Learning
Old Wine
In the morning, at the height of my powers
I sowed the seed in Britain
Now in the evening when my blood is growin' cold
I'm still sowing in France
Hoping both will grow, by the grace of God
Giving some the honey of the Holy Scriptures
Making others drunk on The Old Wine Of Ancient Learning
He became a scholar at the Carolingian Court
Invited by Charlemagne
He became famous for his teachings and his thoughts
Soon everyone knew his name
Alcuin Of York, Alcuin Of York, Alcuin Of York, Alcuin Of York
Eternal Light, shine into our hearts, deliver us from evil.
Eternal Power, be our support,scatter the darkness and ignorance.
Care for the soul more than the body,
The former remains, the latter will perish.
Let us drink The Old Wine Of Ancient Learning
He became a scholar at the Carolingian Court
Invited by Charlemagne
He became famous for his teachings and his thoughts
Soon everyone knew his name
Alcuin Of York, Alcuin Of York, Alcuin Of York, Alcuin Of York
Alcuin Of York, Alcuin Of York, Alcuin Of York, Alcuin Of York
Alcuin Of York

Bloodaxe (The Last Of The Viking Kings) (Music and Words Tim Hunter)
Bloodaxe, The Last of the Viking Kings,
Bloodaxe, The Last of the Viking Kings
In their Longships the Viking marauders came
Pagan Plunderers bringing nothing but
thunder and pain
Bloodaxe, The Last of the Viking Kings,
Bloodaxe, The Last of the Viking Kings
Bloodaxe attacks!
With Whirlwinds and lightening
The slaughter begins
In 948 Eric Bloodaxe is York’s new king
Bloodaxe,
The Last of the Viking Kings
Bloodaxe,
The Last of the Viking Kings
In his palace in York
Eric ruled with
Gunnhild
To keep the crown many killed
He had many enemies
Eric was ambushed and died,
and he entered Valhalla
Now he’s there with his Axe by his side
Bloodaxe, The Last of the Viking Kings,
Bloodaxe, The Last of the Viking Kings

Constantine (Music and Lyrics Tim Hunter © 2020)
There were so many things
That he had to fix
When he became the emperor
In York in AD 306
He was losing control
And needed solutions
Like an end to persecutions
And a brand new state religion
Constantine
He Defined
The Bible that we all now read
And the Nicean Creed
The church was divided
Needing unity
He settled the date of Easter
He defined Christianity
He favoured the Christians
He changed history
Founded Constantinople
Creating a new great city
Constantine
He Defined
The Bible that we all now read
And the Nicean Creed

Guido (Gunpowder speaks louder than words) (Music and Words: Tim Hunter)
There was a plot to kill the Scottish King
The protestant King James,
The King of Great Britain
Guido lived in the Knaresborough district
In Scotton he got involved in politics and
conflict
Guido had the right intent when he entered Parliament
He wanted to blow them all to smithereens
This was his scheme
Gunpowder speaks much louder than words ever will, ‘Cos words never kill
Gunpowder speaks much louder than words ever did, ‘Cos words never get rid,
Guido Oh Guido
Guido went to fight in Spain and returned to London to kill King James
He lit the fuse, it all went wrong and this is his song
Guido had the right intent when he entered Parliament
He wanted to blow them all to Kingdom Come
That was the song he sung
Gunpowder speaks much louder than words ever will, ‘Cos words ever kill. Gunpowder speaks much louder than words ever did, ‘Cos words don’t get rid
Guy Fawkes, he didn’t like talk, His actions are to be remembered, every 5th of November
