the next day the Britannia Panaopticon Music Hall,...

across the Doggerland dogged people trudge
  Neanderthals, Heidelbergers...Sapiens, the last ones standing

Now let us forget foreign captains
And Conquistadores myth
That colors the morning exuberantly
With exotics wars and phony fathers
Like a fine lady strolling along a rotten street
I have tasted lemon
And though I wince at my tongue's
Sharp reaction

Ignatius inspected his cohort
The unknown one and his men
He needed the best to fight for him

Iduma stood tall, with a beard of fiery red
Didn’t like Ignatius, he wanted...

Harry (written by Steven Cooke)

He stairs through the window
In wheelchair he knows,
Gabriel is just a pause behind him.
His last duty, to open a door in his mind
Of memories torn from 1917, where he left,

In the foggy isle of Britannia, many men have sought
Out fortune and fame.
But one man's legacy remains, as steadfast as the walls
Of parliament, a single voice echos, thunders across historical

when you took your people’s guns,
leaving them unable to defend
themselves or anyone,
making them incapable of
resisting evil’s sway,
leaving them adrift and helpless,
it is the tyrant’s way.
But now I see it’s even...

SWANSONG

England expects Britannia to rule the waves,
From the white cliffs of Dover
To where the Sun never sets.

We’ll keep the Union Jack flying
Over this sceptred isle,
Set in a silver sea, 
As a beacon of light
To ward...

A country yearns industry
from assiduous minds revolutionary,
cities conceived with mind set and skill
yet lay insipid in the body of Britannia
those in need of life’s blood,
akin to human organs
served only; by arterial veins.

The first sod to...

Two years later, presentation and ratification,
Was signed enacting the ‘American Constitution,’
And the creation and formation to be...

No longer are we isolated, 
		In this far away country,
		With the toy of modern society, 
		Internet and satellite TV.
		A little picture tube,
		That brings the world to our shore;
		The Universe is at our doorstep, 
		Knocking at...
