"Dance Called America"

The landlords came
The peasant trials
To sacrifice of men
Through the past and that quite darkly
The presence once again
In the name of capital
Establishment
Improvers, its a name
The hidden truths
The hidden lies
That once nailed you
To the pain

They did a dance
Called America
They danced it round
And waited at the turns
For America
They danced their ladies round

To the candles
Of enlightenment
Once lit they say don't burn
To turn the darkest room of suffering
To a greater state of pain
Don't tell me that's behind you now
Don't greet me
Don't meet your dying blind
It's our very last stand together
So let’s sever
No regrets

(Chorus)

There were days
That once held confidence
Strength of will and mind
The camouflage that once washed your fathers
Your sons and daughters time

Another Tounge
My love, my island
You've gone international
With all the praying men of God
Who stood
And watched it all go on

(Chorus)

(Chorus)
The Everlasting Gun

So here you go you're on your own
The flower blooms so freely
For fortune, musket, fyfe and drum
Your faking days won't leave you
'Cause young man now you nurse the gun
You're nervous in the morning
'Neath shattered skies your body lies
On the dark side of reason

The blood is lusting in your heart
Your flesh red hot and lonely
And vengeance gulps the bitter cup
That once held wine so sweetly
But young man legends still unfold
For regiment for glory
You search for gold like you've been told
And the light of day won't leave you

For fickle kings you click the heel
Where a bleak moon leans so weary
Forgotten names on faceless graves
Your father's home awaits you
Oh, the warrior is not the fool
The refugee of freedom
But the outlawed man who holds no gun
On the dark side of reason

But run
You'll never turn and run
The everlasting gun
Your day will surely come
You'll never run
