Majesty - The Panics

Who needs advice from cardinals?

Who votes for Governor-Generals?

Who’ll offer those fellas amnesty?

Who’s been touched by Her Majesty?

Of contradicted history

Confusion by formality

Put into lists and categories

A marriage by authority

To the young eyes

Across the sea

Who live and return to sanctuary

Of defiant tales in stone

In a higher prayer alone

In the brightest chains of gold

In the furthest place from home

Of victory in the high seas

Of doing business with crazies

Of commentators, visionaries

Say who wore what in the A-list

Where there once was a slaughter

Statues of great explorers

A flag engraved in a gold plaque

One quarter Union Jack

To the young eyes

Across the sea

Who live and return to sanctuary

Of defiant tales in stone

In a higher prayer alone

In the brightest chains of gold

In the furthest place from home

Tales in stone, a prayer alone

The brightest chains of gold

A prayer alone

The furthest place from home

Of defiant tales in stone

In a higher prayer alone

In the brightest chains of gold

In the furthest place from home
