Monster | |
To David Cameron, who gambled Britain away...
Once upon a time we were very afraid
Moments of darkness, watching hope fade
They told me the stories of pain and of glory
Of pain and of glory they told me the story
Memories fade but are never forgotten
The sun became brighter and the days became lighter
Cords that throttle become cords that connect
Vitriol to Victory, Emnity to Unity
And today.....
I've created a monster
Cut the bonds, cut the ties
I've made you a monster
Are you afraid? Watch it rise!
Once upon a time we were very confused
Never quite knowing if we've been fused or been bruised
In this world of choice have we lost our voice
Have we lost our voice in this world of choice
Tell us our future and tell us our past
Everything shows that nobody knows
Cords that connect become cords that reject
Victory to Vanity, Unity to Mutiny
And tonight...
I've given birth to a monster
Cut the bonds, cut the ties
I've made you a monster
Are you afraid? Watch it rise!
Once upon a time we were standing strong
Now by graphite we prepare the final gong
"Come this way" says a face in the mist
A face in the mist says "come this way"
For tomorrow...
I've brought you a monster
Cut the bonds, cut the ties
I've made you a monster
Are you afraid? Watch it rise!
The monster's unleashed and we yearn for release
In a moment of fear we watch it appear
In the final drops of light we look the other way
A darker shadow is born today
Here it is...
I've sent you a monster
Cut the bonds, cut the ties
I've made you a monster
Are you afraid? Watch it rise!
