Castle Walls

Cannons are all black 
They blow out a big ball. 
Kings, they hate to see them, 
break their castle wall.  

Its rolled up to the edge 
of the moat around the yard 
the ball will fly into the stone 
it really isn’t hard.  

The wick is lit with fire 
and burns down quick and bright 
and knocks down walls of castles 
mostly in the night.  

The people they go running 
perhaps with their last breath 
The walls come crashing down then 
sometimes causing death.
