Bread and Wine Lyrics by Rome

A Passage To Rhodesia (Box Set)

2014

Say we're here to reclaim our past
Though we knew it couldn't last
A pathethic attempt to fashion this place
To our own, alien ways

Say we're here to watch our homes
Be buried by a hail of stones
Assume it all
And let's drink to our fall

So friends, let us drink to this
Memory so fine
For not all is lost when there is still
Bread and wine

Oh friends, let us drink to this
Memory so fine
For not all is lost when there is still
Bread and wine

Then we slip back
I am I, you are you
And the life we knew, we loved so much
Is here, unblemished, untouched

And waiting for that hail of stones
We'll meet our fate at home
As men turn to mice
With the closing of the vice

Oh friends, let us drink to this
Memory so fine
For not all is lost when there is still
Bread and wine

Oh friends, let us drink to this
Memory so fine
For not all is lost when there is still
Bread and wine

Oh, how we'll miss your green and gold
The tinkling of your streams
The majesty of your storms
The sounds of your evening doves

Oh friends, let us drink to this
Your harvest sun warm on our skin
Memory so fine
The scent of your hot cotton
For not all is lost when there is still
Your leopards in the sun
Bread and wine
Your leopards in the sun

Oh friends, let us drink to this
Memory so fine
For not all is lost when there is still
Bread and wine



We The Government of Rhodesia, in humble submission to Almighty God who controls the destinies of nations, conscious that the people of Rhodesia have always shown unswerving loyalty and devotion to Her Majesty the Queen and earnestly praying that we and the people of Rhodesia will not be hindered in our determination to continue exercising our undoubted right to demonstrate the same loyalty and devotion, and seeking to promote the common good so that the dignity and freedom of all men may be assured, Do, By This Proclamation, adopt, enact and give to the people of Rhodesia the Constitution annexed hereto;
