After the collapse of Rome
People entered a dark age
Savage tribes sought a new home
When Atilla turned this page

Yet let us revise that chapter
For although empires fell
Mighty kings took the sceptre
It's of heroes stories tell

Unlike Romans who deceived
They placed honour above gold
Their word was to be believed
Loyalty was never sold

They were violent and wild
But also honest and just
Their rule not exactly mild
They deserved their people's  trust

Great Arthur of the Britons
Charlemagne of the Franks
The Vikings kings, Denmark's sons
The caliphs on Tigris' banks

Why are these called Dark Ages?
Those glory days of legend?
Let us rewrite those pages
About Etzel in his tent
