歌詞

[Verse 1]
In 1654 on Christmas Day the fleet left Portsmouth
The empire casting off
Before the Western design
Private citizens and companies
Managed the work of expansion
[PreChorus]
Jon Dee, with his scrying mirror
Necromanced the British Empire
Oliver Cromwell kicked it off
[Verse 2]
Brutal men, sick and untrained
"The worke we may doe in the world"
"The worke we may doe in the world"
They couldn't capture Hispaniola
So they went and found a harbour
The red dawn of England's Empire
400 years
[PreChorus]
Land of wood and water
Xaymaca
The Arawaks, the Arawaks, the Arawaks was there first
[Chorus]
A slave-operated imperial profit generator
The Western design, a giant Frankenstein
400 years of stealing and killing, a giant Frankenstein
Ghostlining the Western design
[Verse 3]
In 1654 on Christmas Day the fleet left Portsmouth
The empire taking off
Jon Dee, with his scrying mirror
Necromanced the British empire
Oliver Cromwell kicked it off
[PreChorus]
Brutal men, sick and untrained
"The worke we may doe in the world"
"The worke we may doe in the world"
[Chorus]
The Western design, a giant Frankenstein
400 years of stealing and killing, a giant Frankenstein
Ghostlining the Western design
Ghostlining the Western design
