Patriot Song Lyrics

The Thames does flow inside my soul

I'll fill it up with rusted gold

A patriot cry, a wizened wire

I won't be slipped back into lies

A wounded tree, an empty field, a meandering river and a seal

A spike they pinned inside a weir, a turtle it swam out from under here

Love is old this creature's cold

What we must do is break the mold

A faded cry, a distant sigh, I wrote a poem back in time

I feel the streets, they talk to me

Loaded up, I don't feel my feet

The stems they grow, the river flows

Destiny changes all we know

Our memories fade, they dance away, into a celluloid decay

How far we came, I dived to our shame

A brilliant mind, a wasted decline

And love may be open, your flag may be broken

Exposed all your feelings, my heart off the ceiling

And the soul may order

And the mind's disorder

The hollowest feeling

This city is gleaming
