Strange Company (lyrics)

Shivering soldiers forbidden to speak
We bend our allegiance and slowly retreat
Your underlings returning

Reasons for treason untied our bitter tongues
When your trial comes, we heroes unsung
Will lock you up and swallow the keys

Your majesty, the travesty is
You’re drowning us in lollies and rust
Your company of strangers to lovely
Look down on us — who are we to trust?

We speak daggers though we use none

Your majesty, the travesty is
You’re drowning us in lollies and rust
Your company of strangers so lovely
Look down on us
Children of dust
