lyrics

We were fighting, fighting for our lives
Or so it seemed
We were right there at the coal face
You had hold of houses
On the south side of the park

And in our empire
In our worlds we were Kings and Queens
And the lands we held were fine and plenty
Such dreams…

But I never wanted this

Be careful what you wish for child

Your empire may materialise
Sooner or later
With everything you wished for child

But I never wanted this

We were fighting, fighting for our lives
With the daylight fading
You were called for dinner before the mission’s end

I defended the peace
