Lyrics
Call me the upstart monstrous lawyer
A mere legend of lies
And I can pretend it was worth the war
If I cover up my eyes
And I walk in blindness 'cross the stones
And down the traitor's gate
Here we go again
It's still the same
England's new chains
Well, I've been the well-earned soldier
And I've fought the bloody years
And I can pretend it was worth the pain
If I cover up my ears
And I walk in silence 'cross the stones
And down the traitor's gate
Here we go again
It's still the same
England's new chains
Oh, maybe time will tell
Who survives the fire
Oh, maybe time will tell
What we've been fighting all this while
I am the freeborn Englishman
I'm any mother's son
And I can pretend it was worth the war
If I cut out my tongue
And I walk in silence 'cross the stones
And down the traitor's gate
Here we go again
It's still the same
England's new chains
And we held faster than before
Oh, we held faster than before
Oh, we held faster than before
Ah, yes, I held faster than before
