Lyrics

The Riverbank

[Verse]

Grey Britain is burning down, we'll be

Buried alive before we drown

The queen is dead, and so is the ground

A shallow grave fit for the crown

Stick your coffins in the river bed

Where all your sins are laid to rest

Set light to the flag we used to fly

Can't help us now, we are ready to die
