Crown of Thorns |
| Fire of the sun |
| Flowers crumble into dust |
| The seed shall scatter and die |
| Light in her eyes |
| Pours black on their lives |
| We gather round a funeral pyre |
| And here we stand |
| In old England’s land |
| Shattered glass on the ground |
| There are no words |
| To console this earth |
| To restore old England’s pride |
| Never in a million or so years |
| Did we suffer so much bloodshed |
| Here comes the man |
| With the warm and gentle hands |
| Her name burned into his brow |
| Scorn in her eyes |
| Her back to the cries |
| We spit upon the life |
| That never was |
| And here we stand |
| In old England’s land |
| The rose is choked by it’s thorn |
| She will cast salt for your wound |
| Old England wears no crown |
| Never in a million or so years |
| Did we suffer so much bloodshed |
| We didn’t want to hurt you |
| But it’s not over yet |
| No never in a million or so years |
| Did we suffer so much bloodshed |
