'Lament for my Country'
Weep for us who died in vain
That England should be free'
That her sons should never fight again
Or dominated be.
You Englishmen for whom we fought
Have failed to speak for peace,
Your voices have been silent,
Nought has roused you from your ease.
Dishonesty, greed and selfishness
Have taken over this land,
But Englishmen will rue the day
They failed to make a stand.
For history will record this year
As one of bloodless death,
Of this fair isle, no more to be,
Independant, proud and free.
For you have broken faith with us
Who died for your liberty!
