The Commonwealth Lives Lyrics
The Tower of London
I sit in its dungeon
And simply for hearing the call
Though I cannot remember
This foolish endeavour
I vaguely recall how we blundered in all
Oliver Cromwell
Lord Protector,
Behind his lectern
With dreams to be soured
By Royalist power
We die in this tower
But that's what you get
[BRIDGE:]
A torrent of wind
No escape from this madness
The power within
Puts the wind back into my sails
[CHORUS:]
And in spite of your lies
The Commonwealth lives!
The Commonwealth lives!
The Common, the Common, the Commonwealth lives!
From Ireland's fair hills
To the highlands of Dunbar
His body lies here
But his name traveled so far
And through all this fighting
He would not become king,
With providence spoken
He gave us free hand
And from Marston Moor
To the whole civil war
We all made a stand
For our glorious land
[BRIDGE]
[CHORUS]
[SOLO: Koskela, Pohjalainen]
(Whoa-oh) [x4]
A torrent of sin
No escape from the madness
The power within
Puts the wind back into my sails
The Commonwealth lives!
And, in spite of your lies,
The Commonwealth lives! [x5]
I sit in its dungeon
And simply for hearing the call
This foolish endeavour
I vaguely recall how we blundered in all
Lord Protector,
Behind his lectern
By Royalist power
We die in this tower
But that's what you get
A torrent of wind
No escape from this madness
The power within
Puts the wind back into my sails
And in spite of your lies
The Commonwealth lives!
The Commonwealth lives!
The Common, the Common, the Commonwealth lives!
To the highlands of Dunbar
His body lies here
But his name traveled so far
He would not become king,
With providence spoken
He gave us free hand
To the whole civil war
We all made a stand
For our glorious land
[CHORUS]
No escape from the madness
The power within
Puts the wind back into my sails
The Commonwealth lives! [x5]
