Ode of the Strong-Willed
Good afternoon
How are you today?
I am a gentleman
Thought I'd ask you
It is polite, I say
Good afternoon
How are you today?
I am a gentleman
Thought I'd ask you
FRANCE! GET THE BLOODY HELL AWAY!
I am cynical and sarcastic
Don't like you very much
People peg me as an a$$
And make fun of my oh so magical staff
My name is a secret
Sorry, I cannot tell you
I am the Black Sheep of Europe, remember?
My name is a secret
I will push everyone away
I will be a complete git
I am still a gentleman though
Would you like some more tea?
Messy hair
Like the color of fresh hay
Gleaming green eyes
Like the color of my grass
I suffered so much
Wars on all sides
My brothers hurt me
And everyone betrayed me
I will fight
I will fight to the end
Throw me any challenge
I will face it
I will look it at the face
I will fight
I will fight with no end
One against the world
I will endure it with no end
I remember long ago
When that was more than true
One against the world
I lived in the woods
With my magical friends in cahoots
My brothers hunted me down
Invaders took me down
King Arthur and his men
United me in the end
Merlin with his magic
I was finally complete
Albion born
After years full of darkness and defeat!
Rome educated
Saxony also invaded
France didn't help me
I'll never forgive him
The Union Jack is my symbol
The red cross is too
Roses are beautiful
The flowers of my kingdom
I promised to myself
I wouldn't give up
I will show my dear brothers
That they can no longer hurt me
The charade is finally up
The age of freedom
The age of rebellion
Sod off, dear King
Sailing the seas
Is better than thee!
America is like the rest
He also tried to hurt me
He broke my healed heart
And I was back at the start
Sorry if I'm old fashioned
I'll stick to my pirate sword
A gun in my pocket
Wits to galore
You may find me on an Island
Off the coast of Europe
I used to be an Empire
I did better than The Great Roman Empire!
Alba up North
The Twins to the West
Cymru to the East
Me in the middle
Of their bloody conquering feast
Fear me
My enemy
Steal my tea
You are more than dead to me
My name is a secret
My secret is a powerful one
A secret so ancient
A secret shrouded in history
A secret much older than you
A secret so rare to dissolve
Too bad
It does not include you
Sorry, I cannot stay
Sorry if I do not want to
One has to move on
As the world goes on
Sorry if I do not want to
Sorry if I cannot
But I do not feel like
Sharing my name today
I'm sorry if I do not want
To get close to you today
