The Tower of Babylondon Lyrics by Twa Corbies

The Clamouring

2015

[Verse 1]
Beneath White Hill lies a buried head
The country's enemies for to dread
But while it kept French ships away
It not prevented kings to go astray, astray
[Chorus]
I am expecting even stranger things
I heard they have to clip the ravens' wings
For if they ever flew away
We'd be lost and a kingdom would decay
[Verse 2]
And not much later fell another head
A pope was aghast and a queen was dead
And a church was found on a hill of lies
While the ravens picked the dead queen's eyes, her eyes
[Chorus]
I am expecting even stranger things
Because they have to clip the ravens' wings
For if they ever flew away
We'd be lost and a kingdom would decay
[Verse 3]
Close by the river they build a new tower
It's getting higher hour by hour
Times may have changed, but the facts remain
The men in power still play the same old game
[Chorus]
I am expecting even stranger things
They still have to clip the ravens' wings
For if they ever flew away
We'd be lost and a lot more would decay
[Outro]
Already we are facing stranger things
And even if the ravens kept their wings
I do not think they'd ever fly away
There is no place where they would want to stay
