ONCE UPON A TIME

Sol Invictus / Wakeford

High we climbed to set our sun.
Ignore the deeds that are done
Bloody knives beneath the moon
Now dark skies and broken runes
Once upon a time
In this sad century
Once upon a time
In this sad century
Frozen sepia, in bloody frames
Show uniforms and their reign
Sea and sky, remain the same
Unmoved by claims to fame
Once upon a time
In this sad century
Once upon a time
In this sad century
From the quiet of yesterday
They observe the state of play
From the quiet of yesterday
They watch and wave
