[The Stupendium]
Gather brothers, gather sisters, soothe your blisters by the fire
Though our bones may ache and groan, we know our spirits never tire
The temperature's low, but our purpose is much higher
What's behind us mustn't blind us to divineness that transpires
Now her spires have expired, well, she rests in each of you
London's not a place, it wasn't left beneath our boots
And by grace, we have been blessed with that most elegant of truth
You stand here not abandoned, but as testament and proof
For a city is its people, and its people are its heart
Stood together 'gainst the weather, 'gainst the coming of the dark
Ne'er a lantern has been lit with oh so righteous a spark
When providence claimed continents, but provided us an ark
[Dan Bull]
We moved north as awful forceful storms removed borders
Forced to leave the warmth behind
The daylight hours grew shorter
Unable to read at night, the people might dispute lawbooks
Ushering the death of joy, division made a new order
Brute force and discipline ensures all the citizens
Are chipping in sufficiently, under threat of imprisonment
Liberty's prohibited, retired, it's mandatory compliance now
To keep the fire alight, we need to stamp any defiance out
We can ill afford the price of human rights nor pay the cost of anger
So we stifle scrutinizing eyes astray with propaganda
The only way that we can pull through is under cruel rule
If a single person falls out of line, we all do
Gather brothers, gather sisters, soothe your blisters by the fire
Though our bones may ache and groan, we know our spirits never tire
The temperature's low, but our purpose is much higher
What's behind us mustn't blind us to divineness that transpires
Now her spires have expired, well, she rests in each of you
London's not a place, it wasn't left beneath our boots
And by grace, we have been blessed with that most elegant of truth
You stand here not abandoned, but as testament and proof
For a city is its people, and its people are its heart
