lyrics

EUROPA ESCAPES

Europa escapes, gathers her lakes
Her mountains and hills and sets of for the gates
Done with your maudlin, your all night marauding
Your self serving ardour and rage

She gonna find her somewhere new
Where the women are brave and men true
Where they treat her body good
Love her and feed her and shield her
Caress her and thank her and please her
Hold her and hug her and heal her
Like you have forgotten to

Europa escapes, closes the gates
Shut with a bang just as loud as she can
Gathers your outlaws, your exiles your havenots
Gives them the keys to your courts

She tells them to burn it down
To tear all your towers to the ground
And she’ll find her someone new
To love her and feed her and shield her
Caress her and thank her and please her
Hold her and hug her and heal her
like you have forgotten to

What’s stolen will one day steel back
What’s waged at the dagger will fall into it
What’s lied to will break from the truth
What’s taken by force will never be yours

Liberty, liberty, liberty, save yourself for me
