Текст песни The Crickets of Jiminy (Hours Eastly) с переводом

You know the birds don’t fly

In the sunlit sky

Near the isle of the crickets of Jiminy

They had flown before

But the throne bid war

And the King’s men killed off their enemies

It was The Battle of Nigh

When the kestrels cried

«Retreat! Defeats on the wind!»

For all the locusts swarmed

To a potent storm

And the battle soon drew to an end

We’re The Crickets of Jiminy

Still the earth was wet

From the blood they’d let

And the pools, they set to collecting

It seemed dissent and subversion

Had led to desertion

The Ministry’s troops were defecting

You want to go then go

If you don’t then don’t

Say you will, say you won’t

You don’t say?

But if you leave, that’s that

When you’re gone, you’re gone

And you don’t come back

No way

There’s no way

If they fight like their fathers before them

When the war ends they’ll go home

And when we sing then we’ll sing 'til the morning

'The Lords of the Feather have flown'
