Hail And Farewell To Britain lyrics - Type O Negative song

Once upon a slime I thought you royalty
I would never have questioned your loyalty
Don't act so surprised, saw through you disguise
But with friends like you prefer my enemies

Up until recently never had a clue
In a way I must admit I pity you
I'm through with you kind, 'cause you've wasted my time
Please do not release them, Lord knows what they do

I can't believe how cruel life is
Emotional blackmail makes me sick, oh so sick

Who is to blame for constant shame on you
These words I use don't confuse with cool
This misfortune not lost but won deserved
Choosing is hard careful which God you serve

Traitors many, surrounding me cowards
Conspiracy so clear to see flowers
We were brothers 'til discovered deceit
Tried with treason that's the reason you're beat

I can't believe how cruel life is
Emotional blackmail makes me sick, oh so sick

All hail and farewell to Britain, all hail and farewell to thee
All hail and farewell to England, all hail and farewell to me
