Lyrics
A funeral pyre and evening song
The cremation of our last king
Ash may sting blood red eyes
While embers dance into the night time sky
And though our majesty we do mourn
Let us praise a new republic born
Sound the horns
For these waters are poisoned
Let us not drink from the well
Of our mad monarch
Let us speak in hushed tongues
Of dreams we’ve had
And deeds to be done
Calloused hands built this iron throne
And ploughed these fertile fields
They sewed these seeds of growth
A new chapter is revealed
Our names bear this coat of arms
A union of stainless steel
Melt down the jagged crown
Before which we used to kneel
We share this coat of arms
We share this stainless steel
We share this iron throne
We share these fertile fields
As the fire flickers and dies
Beneath the baleful, oil slick night
A new dawn emerges and brings fresh light
The rivers still flow and the birds are in song
A page has turned but life goes on
And we return to the fields with seeds to sow
