Lyrics An English Garden - Sol Invictus

An English Garden

In the garden by the wall
Something moved and someone called
Why is it hollow beneath the stones?
Why is Mother crying on her own?
An english garden in the rain
Somenthing hidden and something strange
Don't go walking in the woods
Yes Father dear, you're understood
An english garden in the rain
Someone whispered my name
Victoria sits upon her throne
And when we fall, we'll fall like Rome
Why can't we in the garden play?
The servants stare then look away
Why has the hall clock suddenly stopped?
Why are the French windows always locked?
An english garden in the rain
Somenthing hidden and something strange
Don't go walking in the woods
Yes Father dear, you're understood
An english garden in the rain
Someone whispered my name
Victoria sits upon her throne
And when we fall, we'll fall like Rome
Why was the governess sent away?
Why won't any of the servants stay?
Is that thunder overhead?
And who's that standing by my bed?
An english garden in the rain
Somenthing hidden and something strange
Don't go walking in the woods
Yes Father dear, you're understood
An english garden in the rain
Someone whispered my name
Victoria sits upon her throne
And when we fall, we'll fall like Rome
