All the Saints today

Come on Saint George
Set down your grey hair
Set down your false disguise
You're in the Angel's lair
But there's a devil beside

And Saint George you should know
About the times she's lied
And it isn't fair
The times the maiden's cried

But oh Saint George
You know the truth can't hide
You're in the dragon's lair
Pick up your shield with pride

And I think you should know
There's a devil there
But an Angel beside
So set down your grey hair
Pick up your sword with pride

Now the flames that scare
Fly from her mouth and fried
All the saints held there
To the stakes where they're tied

And I think you should know
How much the other saints tried
Saint Andrew's bear, Saint Patrick
Down on the snakes did ride

But its all the same
In the dragons lair
There's an Angel there
But a devil beside
So pick up your shield
Fight back the flame
Loves a battlefield
Where all the saints have died
