and we’ll fight them in your name, thomas arkinstall

gladstone was the new p.m
and the empire stretched around the world
truly great was britain then

can’t raise your voice, can’t complain at all
but we know who to blame for your grief and shame
and we’ll fight them in your name, thomas arkinstall
