The Last Island (Fortress Britain)

[Verse 1] The map is painted red from the east unto the west Every former ally has been put to the test They folded in the mountains, they surrendered in the sand Now the whole damn world is coming for this little piece of land The radar dishes spinning on the cliffs of Dover white Listening to the bombers flying heavy through the night [Pre-Chorus] The convoys are sinking beneath the freezing waves But the Home Fleet is sailing, and the Spitfire saves We’re out of manpower, the factories are strained But as long as there's an island, the empire will remain! [Chorus] We stand alone, against the raging tide! Nowhere left to run, and nowhere left to hide From the jungles of Malaya to the burning Suez sand We’re fighting every nation with a rifle in our hand The sun is setting slowly, but the shadows make us tall Welcome to the fortress, we will never let it fall! [Verse 2] They're planning naval invasions on the shores of Sussex beach But the Royal Navy's waiting, keeping safety out of reach I’m micro-ing the fighters, assigning every ace Putting anti-air in every single open space America turned hostile, the Soviets unite It’s a global coalition, but we haven't lost the fight! [Bridge] We shall fight them on the beaches, in the streets and in the air We shall fight them on the oceans, we will fight them everywhere Let the world tension rise to a hundred and ten We’ll drink our cups of tea and we will push them back again! [Guitar Solo - Triumphant and Defiant] [Chorus] We stand alone, against the raging tide! Nowhere left to run, and nowhere left to hide From the jungles of Malaya to the burning Suez sand We’re fighting every nation with a rifle in our hand The sun is setting slowly, but the shadows make us tall Welcome to the fortress, we will never let it fall! [Outro] Just one more wave. Just one more month. Rule Britannia. (Fade out with the sound of a roaring Spitfire engine and distant thunder)
