lyrics

Wind in the willow like water flows down
Consecrates the ground on which we laid
Sacrifice to the Gods
Pray for fairer weather
For rain restores the pallor of our savage foes

Bless me Father for I have sinned
‘Pin her like a prick and to the stake her bones stick’
Curse the rain
Deny the blame
And call a crusade to Sudan for the holy land

Oh Helena, I knew you well
Before the city fell

Claim the right, deem the blood in the street justified
And claim my body should be severed from the thoughts in my head
Revolution breeds new birth
Claim the ones next in line
For the throne they have in mind

Tanks mow down weak flesh with weight
Pound the dirt, suffocate, and I’ll lose my place
Now my step has lost its spring
Amid the corpses where I dwell
My being seems to melt

Oh Helena, recall me well
Once I’m beyond the veil

Do you love me now, Helena?
It seems the plans were botched, Helena

It seems I’m passed the pale
Down by our willow and the well
