This song is very well written and touches a lot of bases for me in the current standings of world politics...check out
Type O Negative's
Dead Again to hear it in full aural glory.
All Hail and Farewell to Britain
Once upon a slime, I thought you royalty.
I would never have questioned your loyalty.
Don't act so surprised, saw through your disguise -
But with friends like you, prefer my enemies. Yeah...
Up until recently, never had a clue.
In a way, I must admit I pity you.
I'm through with your kind, 'cause you've wasted my time -
Please do not release them, Lord knows what they do...
I can't believe how cruel life is!
Emotional blackmail makes me sick, oh so sick!
Who is to blame, for constant shame, on you?
These words I use, please don't confuse, with cool.
This misfortune, not lost but won, deserved...
Choosing is hard, careful which God you serve!
Traitors many, surrounding me, cowards!
Conspiracy, so clear to see, flowers.
We were brothers, 'til discovered, deceit.
Tried with treason, that's the reason you're beat!
I can't believe how cruel life is!
Emotional blackmail makes me sick, oh so sick!
(4x)
All hail and farewell to Britain.
All hail and farewell to thee.
All hail and farewell to England...
All hail and farewell to me, to me.
