Crown Of Thorns Lyrics by Erasure

Crown Of Thorns Lyrics

    Fire of the sun
    Flowers crumble into dust
    The seed shall scatter and die
    Light in her eyes
    Pours black on their lives
    We gather round a funeral pyre
    And here we stand
    In old england's land
    Shattered glass on the ground
    There are no words
    To console this earth
    To restore old england's pride

    Never in a million or so years
    Did we suffer so much bloodshed

    Here comes the man
    With the warm and gentle hands
    Her name burned into his brow
    Scorn in her eyes
    Her back to the cries
    We spit upon the life
    That never was
    And here we stand
    In old england's land
    The rose is choked by it's thorn
    She will cast salt for your wound
    Old england wears no crown

    Never in a million or so years
    Did we suffer so much bloodshed
    We didn't want to hurt you
    But it's not over yet
    No never in a million or so years
    Did we suffer so much bloodshed
