about

Frank Smith (words, music); Jeremy Sills (music)

lyrics

Swirling deep
In your glass
Past dusk
Smokey and peaty
As this single malt

Thick with the
Sacrifice
We've made
To be neither safe
Or secure

"Freedom" is a
Hollow word
It grips with
Idealism then
Settles in rage

Set fire
To the foundations
We laid
While never
Thinking or
Forming a plan

We were the Kings
Of this castle
We were the Lords
Of this land
We ran circles
'round pretenders
Captains of industry
Pillars of infamy

We were the Kings
Of this castle
We were the Lords
Of this land
We ran circles
'round pretenders

Captains of industry
Pillars of infamy

Opportunists in
Tailored suits
Collide
With fascists
Sloganeers
Carnival barkers

Fresh from
History's lessons
We never learn
Steadfast in ignorance
Doomed
To repeat

A shift in
Global tensions
They don't
Give a damn
Stroking
Their egos
Numb to
What's certain
Numb to
What's certain

We were the Kings
Of this castle
We were the Lords
Of this land
We ran circles
'round pretenders
Captains of industry
Pillars of infamy

We were the Kings
Of this castle
We were the Lords
Of this land
We ran circles
'round pretenders
Captains of industry
Pillars of infamy
