PS - Iceni - isn't that the tribe that Boudica belonged to?


Boudica is one of my heroines Ruth.  Here is are the lyrics to a great song written about her. I tried to find a clip of the actual tune but was unable:

"Bodicea, Bodicea, Bodicea

Bodicea, Bodicea

Deep in the night, in a quiet place, I hear her voice, I see her face.

All in a dream. She was the Warrior Queen.

Brought to war, by the pain of her daughters,

She vowed revenge, and promised to slaughter,

The enemy there.

It was an honor affair.

Fight the foe, fight the foe,

Sang the Warrior Queen.

The Lion looks proud, in the shade of the tree,

But the Lioness hunts down the prey,

The victor is she.

Bodicea, Bodicea

Across the lands, her chariot sped,

Burning London, 20,000 dead.

Feared and serene, the Iceni Queen.

Though soon she would falter, Suetonious would reign.

Forgotten victories are all that remain.

Her voice they can hear, an echo from yesteryear.

Fight the foe, fight the foe,

Sang the Warrior Queen.

The Lion looks proud, in the shade of the tree,

But the Lioness hunts down the prey, The victor is she.

Bodicea, Bodicea, Bodicea, Bodicea

The Warrior Queen, The Warrior Queen, The Warrior Queen

Bodicea, Bodicea,

The Warrior Queen, Bodicea, Bodicea , The Warrior Queen

Deep in the night, she took her own life,

Blessed with a smile and a tear.

Though she had severed their dearest veins,

None would ever forget, Bodicea."

 

Words and music from of "Stone of Destiny" by Steve MacDonald

Welcome to POE, Barry and Lyn B!  Your photos are really good.  I'm no professional either, just a holiday snapper and lover of the UK.  I'm going to view the rest of your photos now.

I am sure someone has found this little gem already but I am too lazy to go back through all the posts to check. LOL! So here it is again. It's so exquisite; I think it deserves to be posted more than once!
