THE LAND OF ALBION SHALL RISE
THE SPIRIT OF ALBION SHALL FLY
THE PEOPLE OF ALBION AWAKEN
TO A BRAND NEW DREAM IN THE MAKING
FROM BENEATH THE CONCRETE AND THE SUITS
THERE WILL EMERGE DRUMBEATS AND FLUTES
DESPITE THE GRASP OF IRON POLICE FISTS
FREEDOM WILL COME BY TURNS AND BY TWISTS
NEVER MIND THE BUREAUCRACY AND MANIPULATION
BRITANNIA’S GIVING BIRTH TO A RAINBOW NATION
THE PEOPLE OF ALBION WILL FEEL IT IN THEIR BONES
THIS IS OUR LAND, IT WAS ALWAYS OUR HOME
NOT ENGLISH, SCOTTISH NOR WELSH
THE WHOLE OF THIS LAND IS OUR WEALTH
LAND RICH IN HISTORY, STEEPED IN BLOOD, SO MUCH LOVED
LAND FULL OF PROMISE, SHE GAVE US HER WEALTH
ALBION’S POWER SPREAD ROUND THE GLOBE
RED WAS THE COLOUR OF BRITANNIA’S ROBE
EMPIRE FALLEN THE BRITS FUMBLE THEIR WAY
SLAVES TO THE ECONOMY, DOPED BY THE MEDIA
LIVES LIVED ON FACEBOOK TWITTER & WIKIPEDIA
BUT BRITONS ARE NOT SLAVES TO MONEY OR MACHINE
WE ARE NOT HERE TO SERVE THE DARK DREAM
THE SPIRIT OF ALBION SHALL RISE
AND ILLUMINATE THE LIES
THE PEOPLE OF ALBION SHALL RISE
BE PREPARED FOR A BIG SURPRISE
Interesting Shokti – even if the graphic you use is a bit macho and VERY English !
I take it from this you are not a supporter of Scottish independence ?
I am a supporter of Scottish independence as a means of breaking up the current British conservative establishment and creating the potential for progressive change – and hopefully in the long term for a world without borders.
Just as I am a supporter of asserting “gay” identity only as a means of overcoming homophobia , not because I believe there is anything essentially different about what gender we find attractive.
