Lyrics:

Who needs advice from cardinals?
Who votes for Governor-Generals?
Who'll offer those fellas amnesty?
Who's been touched by Her Majesty?

Of contradicted history
Confusion by formality
Put into lists and categories
A marriage by authority

To the young eyes
Across the sea
Who live and return to sanctuary

Of defiant tales in stone
In a higher prayer alone
In the brightest chains of gold
In the furthest place from home

Of victory in the high seas
Of doing business with crazies
Of commentators, visionaries
Say who wore what in the A-list

Where there once was a slaughter
Statues of great explorers
A flag engraved in a gold plaque
One quarter Union Jack

To the young eyes
Across the sea
Who live and return to sanctuary

Of defiant tales in stone
In a higher prayer alone
In the brightest chains of gold
In the furthest place from home

Tales in stone, a prayer alone
The brightest chains of gold
A prayer alone
The furthest place from home

Of defiant tales in stone
In a higher prayer alone
In the brightest chains of gold
In the furthest place from home
