Song language: English
Last Lion of Albion |
Early in the morning where there used to be a stream |
Is a tiny business lake |
Don’t let the cattails fool you |
Down in the bottom where nothing is born |
Sleeps a silver dollar with your face thereon |
Wish I could trace the frowning compass of your mind |
Drop the mercury down the Roman drain and summon mine |
Last lion of Albion |
They’ll use you for centuries to come |
They’ll steal your patents for the sun |
And you’ll feel extinction |
When you see your face on their money |
Laid in the heavens that are already bought |
Sleeps a red planet in a galaxy of your lion’s thoughts |
On the surface of your tender unintended machine |
Is there a buckle knuckle kneel on a carpet of lion’s tongues |
Wish I could stand in the spray of the cliff of your sweet revenge |
Ocean of naked serrated marble crushing in |
Last lion of Albion |
They’ll use you for centuries to come |
They’ll steal your patents for the sun |
And you’ll feel extinction |
Last lion of Albion |
They’ll use you for centuries to come |
Your wounds the main road into London |
You’ll feel extinction |
When you see your face on their money |
Last lion of Albion |
The last she-wolf to mother Rome |
The last virgin to wash ashore |
You’ll feel extinction |
Last lion of Albion |
The last of the Mohicans gone |
The last cedars of Lebanon |
You’ll feel extinction |
Last lion of Albion |
Last tiger of Tasmania |
The last she-wolf to suckle Rome |
You’ll feel extinction |
When you see your face |
Face on their money |
