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 Letras de cancionesAnd 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 From Letras Mania
