Performed for the Coronation of Fabian and Susan
Schwetzingen’s son, will you fight? Will you fight-o?
Schwetzingen’s son, will you fight this day?
For whom shall I fight? Tell me what worthy Lady’s
Favor shall I carry? Say.
Patron of Art, be the Patron of ScienceSchwetzingen’s son, do you fight? Do you fight-o?
Let love of learning rule over our land
Schwetzingen’s son, look to Susan of Wight-o
She by your side shall stand
Schwetzingen’s son, do you fight this day?
Aye, but I’m wounded and weak from my trials
My strength, it has gone astray.
Take strength from me, I’ve the strength of the Titans,Schwetzingen’s son, did you fight? Did you fight-o?
The power you need for to make your foes yield
Schwetzingen’s son, I’ve come far to be with you
Now by my hands be healed.
Schwetzingen’s son, did you fight that day?
Aye, by the grace of a friend and his lady
And a healer from far away
I danced with the blades of a hero of legend
From his hand through time comes the crown I do wear
Schwetzingen’s son and Susan of Wight-o
The kingdom is in your care.
