lyrics

It’s been struggle heretofore
You return again to the well
By which many good men swore
In which many good men fell
In the languid hellish noon
You hear the spectral bell
In the lamplit sheltered gloom
You fear for whom it knells

You sing a hymn for the princedom you miss
Drink again 'til you’re convinced it exists
Hem yourself in with these remnants of bliss
Hell-bent on relentless descent

But the longing will never be satisfied, the lost land will never be found
The Lords of the Lane will have passed and died, you’ll be king of The Little Crown
And your thoughts turn to days of simplicity when you ran rings around on the Rye
You’ll be lost in a haze of complicity, your time will have passed

You'll sing a hymn for the princedom you miss
Drink again 'til you’re convinced it exists
Hem yourself in with these remnants of bliss
Hell-bent on relentless descent
