When you show Britannia tears
She will comfort you, cradle your soul
and make everything alright, show her
the face of heroism, of remaining loyal
to her throughout life, of being faithful
in a world in which she suspects she has done
many wrongs, then her tears are for you
to respect and kiss away gently
as they run down the side of her cheeks.
Britannia is old now, my Queen still fights
on, I see the rage, I feel its heart as she lays down,
