Song Lyrics

Black clouds in a red, red sky
B200 streaking by
Shadowing the crowds in the square
Captain Remus shields his face from the glare
In his rooftop garden 60 storeys high
In his mind he hears the crowd singing
As he greets them from his armoured car

Lead us, lead us
Captain Remus lead us, lead us away
We have no power, only fate
We have no brother but The State
Which owns our reason and our time
Save us Captain it's a crime

Meanwhile there's a siren whining
There's some trouble at the dome
It seems a young man stepped out of line
He called his overseer a swine
And quick as lightning he was led away
All this time Remus is still dreaming
He hears the people as they call his name

Lead us, lead us
Captain Remus lead us, lead us away
We have no power, only fate
We have no brother but The State
Which owns our reason and our time
Save us Captain it's a crime

Wake up, Captain Remus wake up
It's too late now you belong
Did you really know what's right from what's wrong?
You are no more the hero of your youth
Your knowledge leaves you with no truth.

Where are you Captain Remus?
Lead us, lead us Captain Remus
Don't you go away

Paul French
