Текст песни The Shadow Of An Empire (Fionn Regan) с переводом

The element heats the air

But it’s still damp, cold and bare

You must wear

Another layer

In the shadow of an empire

The factory made

Can be heard in the arcade

Or stall owners who trade

Every grain must be weighed

In the shadow of an empire

The painted lady

By the little town hall

Shivers sadly, shoulders in shall

Hoping the kerb will crawl

Through the shadow of an empire

We are cast in a role

Like the fish are in a shoal

Leap the wear or forever toll

In the shadow of an empire

The filament shattered and broke

The fusebox it went up in smoke

Leave the premises so not to choke

On the shadow of an empire

On the sawdust, the circus band

Are heard rehearsing on the strand

By the lovers who understand

Every note must be planned

In the shadow of an empire

The pupil waves a seagull feather

The see-saw eats his shoes of leather

There’s been a turn in the weather

In the shadow of an empire

The newborn in the hammock rocks

Below a bolted sky that unlocks

For the departing of the flocks

From the shadow of an empire

God loves a trier, an articulate liar

The auctioneer makes it clear

And booms «Can you bid any higher

Or is the gentleman at the back a buyer»

In the shadow of an empire
