lyrics

Crosses are burning, in the garden of England,
The hysteria grows, who will survive?.
I thought I saw some sunlight, in this mid-summer winter,
But Fingers get pointed, the truth is disguised.

Out on the high-street the piano man plays hallelujah,
As the prophets of hate become the evangelists of hope
You think you voted for your freedom?
Give ‘em enough time, they’ll give you enough rope.

I’d rather break bread with those who survived the war,
than feast at the table of those who started it
I’d rather shared crumbs with those who survived the war,
than feast at the table with those who started it all.


You can’t buy faith or the courage for real conviction,
We’re all sold out of hope and trust and love.
As the fire spreads through towns cities and countries
Some get burnt in the flames, others washed away in the floods.

I’d rather break bread with those who survived the war,
than feast at the table of those who started it
I’d rather shared crumbs with those who survived the war,
than feast at the table with those who started it all.

We raised our glasses to the revolution,
Seems to me, the revolution never came.
So, we drank some more until we fell into each other,
Then realized we didn’t care that much anyway.
