From the corridors of power

Vox : GM

lyrics

Alarming news brought to my attention from sources which I cannot reveal
Anarchists once more, they move amongst us, with talk of insurrection, it must not prevail
Restoring Order, is Paramount
Restoring Order, Beginning Now
As they did just two short years before, petition Regent and disregard the law
Disperse them swiftly but not dragoons this time ( no) for that glory the yeomanry shall ride

In battle dress, clean and freshly pressed
Riding high, can't fail to impress
Sabres drawn, like Iron Dukes moving forth
hear our name exalted, all across the North, We Ride !

We who missed our chance against the French, businesses to build, factories, mills and shops to tend
But with traitors here, and a serpent's stealth, break them down like Bonaparte himself
We ride !
For decency and truth, for England and for God

Missives I, have writ to Sidmouth, most noble lord who has the Prince's ear
And I have pressed him, pressed him for action, a bloody revolution this time I fear
Restoring Order is Paramount
Fifty thousand all across St Peter's, the Godless mass, their red flags unfurled
Like a plague from foreign quarters, we have to isolate, eliminate, infectious lies
So we ride, we ride, for decency and truth, for England and for God
