British Dream

Verse 1: Shadows over England Fading light of industry Ghosts of greatness lost In this post-war landscape Pre-chorus: Rust and ruin reign Austerity's bitter taste Empty streets, empty hearts Where's the hope in this place? Chorus: British dream, fading fast Neon signs, a dying past No future in sight to cling But we must find our way Verse 2: City walls, a fortress high Guarding privilege, denying rights Poverty and pain, a constant guest In this divided land tonight Pre-chorus: Echoes of a bygone age A nation's pride, turned to shame Where's the leadership in this stage? As our future's left to claim? Chorus: British dream, fading fast Neon signs, a dying past No future in sight to cling But we must find our way Bridge: Silent streets, a nation's cry A whispered plea, for help to come by In this darkest hour, we're forced to face The consequences of our choices made Verse 3: London's towers, a monument high Symbol of power, or just a lie? A city's heart, that's lost its way As our nation's future fades away Chorus: British dream, fading fast Neon signs, a dying past No future in sight to cling But we must find our way
