Last Lion of Albion

[Verse 1]
Early in the morning where there used to be a stream
Is a tiny business lake
Don't let the cattails fool you
Down in the bottom where nothing is born
Sleeps a silver dollar with your face thereon
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Wish I could trace the frowning compass of your mind
Drop the mercury down the Roman drain and summon mine
[Chorus 1]
Last lion of Albion
They'll use you for centuries to come
They'll steal your patents for the sun
And you'll feel extinction
When you see your face on their money
[Verse 2]
Laid in the heavens that are already bought
Sleeps a red planet in a galaxy of your lion's thoughts
On the surface of your tender unintended machine
Is there a buckle knuckle kneel on a carpet of lion's tongues
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Wish I could stand in the spray of the cliff of your sweet revenge
Ocean of naked serrated marble crushing in
[Chorus 1]
Last lion of Albion
They'll use you for centuries to come
They'll steal your patents for the sun
And you'll feel extinction
[Chorus 2]
Last lion of Albion
They'll use you for centuries to come
Your wounds the main road into London
You'll feel extinction
When you see your face on their money
[Chorus 3]
Last lion of Albion
The last she-wolf to mother Rome
The last virgin to wash ashore
You'll feel extinction
[Chorus 4]
Last lion of Albion
The last of the Mohicans gone
The last cedars of Lebanon
You'll feel extinction
[Chorus 5]
Last lion of Albion
Last tiger of Tasmania
The last she-wolf to suckle Rome
You'll feel extinction
[Outro]
When you see your face
Face on their money
