Piper’s Song
A song about Britannia, by Piper

Piper sent in this song on the state of Britannia. It is thought to be sung in the manner of Ace of Base's "I Saw the Sign," but this has not been clarified.

In the forest
And the fen
The sword is mightier than the pen.

Yet in the city
And the town
Lord British wears a jester’s crown.

The lands are fraught
With dangers untold
Because we crave that glittering gold.

I sign the Ankh
Then draw my sword
And go to battle with "our" lord.

In his words
We hear the waver
And seek the truth of virtue’s favour.

We need the guidance
Of strength and power
To help our land grow like a flower.

Zendella, Junin
And Martoo Saul
Have a plan to assuage us all.

I sign the Ankh
Then draw my sword
And go to battle with "our" lord.

His words fly fast
His men fight hard
And in the balance is our shard.

Depose "our" king
Throw him down
Select instead a counselled crown.

This land of ours
Has leaders aplenty
Elect from them a noble assembly.

I sign the Ankh
Then draw my sword
And go to battle with "our" lord.
