Skyclad - Think Back And Lie of England (D# Tuning) 

Track 2 from the "Folkémon" album, tuned half a step down.
(Music by Graeme English/Lyrics by Martin Walkyier)
Cruel Britannia ruled the waves -
Empire oiled by toiling slaves...
White flag stained the St.George Cross red -
And blues sung for the countless dead...
God save brave Johnny Company -
Stiff-upper-lipped he sipped his tea...
Atop a mound of babes he'd killed -
To keep our nations coffers filled...
Think back, and lie of England -
Conceal the evil we have done...
Think back, and lie of England -
Fake alibis for Albion...
Meanwhile, back on British loam -
Irish driven from their homes...
Persecuted, Welsh and Scot -
And robbed them all of all they'd got!
Bound unto the plough and yoke -
They broke the backs of honest folk...
Built a gentlemen's Jerusalem -
I'm ashamed I share my race with them!
Think back, and lie of England -
Conceal the evil we have done...
Think back, and lie of England -
Fake alibis for Albion...
So, will our future history tell -
How we've used this country well?
If you ask me, well I think not -
Unless we watch these bigots rot!
In poverty, the masses drown -
So raise a Dome in Greenwich Town!
The Cenotaph is strewn with flowers -
Yet, arms-deals struck with fascist powers!
Think back, and lie of England -
Conceal the evil we have done...
Think back, and lie of England -
Fake alibis for Albion...
