Lyrics

Two ceremonies took place on Lammas Day, 1087, at Old Sarum. First, every noble in England gathered here to take an oath of loyalty to the King. But then came the handing over of the Book, the ultimate weapon to keep them in line. Now nobody could hold back anything, and it was this book, the Domesday Book, that made the gathering at Old Sarum unique in the history of feudal monarchy in Europe. For the Book ultimately was England. For centuries after, this was the secret of English government, a partnership between the power of the landed classes and the authority of the state, between the guardians of the green acres and the keepers of knowledge. In the right hand corner, the gentry, in the left hand corner, the civil service. And in between them, the eternal umpire, the King.
1087年的收获节期间,两项典礼在老塞勒姆举行。首先,英格兰的所有贵族都聚集于此,向国王宣誓效忠。之后,开始《末日审判书》的交付,这是让这些贵族老老实实的最致命的武器。如今,再没人能隐瞒任何事,也正因这本书,《末日审判书》让这老塞勒姆集会。在欧洲封建君主制的历史上,画上了独一无二的一笔。正是这本书,最终缔造了英格兰。之后的几个世纪里,这本书都是英格兰政府的最高机密。它是地主阶级势力,与国家权力,即农田的监管者与信息掌握者的合作之契约。右上角是,贵族们,左上角是,政府行政机构,夹在中间的是永恒的仲裁者,国王。
