Triolet

The Romans march across our land
The hillsides echo with their feet
They offer a protective hand
The Romans march across our land
Their conquest has been carefully planned
The Romans march across our land
The hillsides echo with their feet.

Authority gives them the right
To conquer, murder or befriend
They come in legions through the night
Authority gives them the right
To conquer hearts without a fight
On our agreement they depend
Authority gives them the right
To conquer, murder or befriend

The wall is where I live my life
With northern wind that blows with rage
It cuts at England like a knife
The wall is where I live my life
Exposed to elemental strife
Which time does little to assuage
The wall is where I live my life
With northern wind that blows with rage

We live in an uneasy peace
The days have multiplied to years
They pay no rent, they have no lease
We live in an uneasy peace
Will occupation ever cease?
And free us from our constant fears
We live in an uneasy peace
The days have multiplies to years.
