Twin City Lament
My distance from London increases and increases
With so many miles left to go
I left for the walls were collapsing around me
And I starved where I lay in the road
And I make for Lancaster town
Where I beg with gold for the scraps I behold
Through the windows
And I'm like a leaf on the breeze
Taken so far away from this place
That has burned behind me
My distance from London increases and increases
With so many miles left to go
I left for the walls were collapsing around me
And I starved where I lay in the road
For why London fell I begin
We were stretched so thin in our might
And our lives of splendour
And then it succumbed to disease
And the people fed off the flesh
Of the still-birthed children
My distance from London increases and increases
With so many miles left to go
I left for the walls were collapsing around me
And I starved where I lay in the road
It's been many months but the ruin
It has followed me here to the place
I had come for succour
And Lancaster crumbles away
I depart this eve in the hope
That my journey kills me
My distance from Lancaster grows, still it's growing
With so many miles left to go
I left for the walls were collapsing around me
And I starve where I lie in the road
With so many miles left to go
I left for the walls were collapsing around me
And I starved where I lay in the road
And I make for Lancaster town
Where I beg with gold for the scraps I behold
Through the windows
And I'm like a leaf on the breeze
Taken so far away from this place
That has burned behind me
My distance from London increases and increases
With so many miles left to go
I left for the walls were collapsing around me
And I starved where I lay in the road
For why London fell I begin
We were stretched so thin in our might
And our lives of splendour
And then it succumbed to disease
And the people fed off the flesh
Of the still-birthed children
My distance from London increases and increases
With so many miles left to go
I left for the walls were collapsing around me
And I starved where I lay in the road
It's been many months but the ruin
It has followed me here to the place
I had come for succour
And Lancaster crumbles away
I depart this eve in the hope
That my journey kills me
My distance from Lancaster grows, still it's growing
With so many miles left to go
I left for the walls were collapsing around me
And I starve where I lie in the road
