The English Dead - Sol Invictus

Nathaniel Ager is my name and England is my nation

Seaburgh is my dwelling-place and Christ is my salvation

When I am dead and in my grave, and all my bones are rotton

I hope the lord will think on me when I am quite forgotten

Just because you don’t see us

It won’t mean were not here

Just because we don’t make a scene

It doesn’t mean that we don’t care

You see we are The English Dead

We don’t like to make a fuss

But you would be very wise, old chap

Not to upset us

The English Dead

The English Dead

We don’t dwell too much on God

We are mostly C of E

And if we’re forced to murder you

We say «thank you» and we say «please»

We are from the old school

We side with the underdog

Don’t like show offs and bullies

Dislike the huntsmen more then the fox

The English Dead

The English Dead

We like to think we are being fair

Greet you with a clipped «good morning»

But are rather ashamed of finding

Some of the Spanish quite appalling

When we see the goose-step

We tend to titter and to grin

But when we are forced to fight

We usually win

The English Dead

The English Dead

The English Dead

So, if you find a crown (The English Dead)

It’s best you leave it in the ground (The English Dead)

Or sadly I will have to track you down (The English Dead)

And turn your sweet smile upside down (The English Dead)

Because

Nathaniel Ager is my name and England is my nation

Seaburgh is my dwelling-place and Christ is my salvation

When I am dead and in my grave, and all my bones are rotton

I hope the lord will think on me when I am quite forgotten
