Build Myself a Crown
Hammer high, hammer high
Dreams of love or war
Replicate and manipulate.
Metal. Metal.
Manufacture, mould, make do and mend
Build myself a crown.
Fracture and rot
Show me your broken bones.
Build it high
Spire, spitfire, situation tires
Into overspilling global landscapes
Of thrones put out to sea.
Nightmares are dreams in other words.
Build myself a crown
And relax from my hand
The hammer high and heavy sigh.
Europe burns the world.
You should relax yourself to
The fact that we like you
Show me your broken bones.
Playgrounds stretch out flat
Like paper or global diktats
Where upon one day in fact
We'll build a city
Build it high
Where we live upon and feast upon.
Build myself a crown.
