Consider this, the gentle burn
That binds your veins and turns your blood to sand
We're laid to rest, both blessed and cursed
The road to hell is paved with righteous men
Don't you ever undermine our pain
Don't you ever mess with us again
Oh Lord alive, what have I done
Hearts of oak please guide me homeward bound
I've heard the things they lay 'pon me
I'm proud to say we're really not the same
Don't you ever weaponise our pain
Don't you ever mess with us again
Blinded by promises, diamonds and rust
There's not a fool on this earth you can trust
Blinded and branded, right down to the bone
There's not a soul who can fight this alone
There's not a soul who should bear this alone
Now hold your tongue, boy, and walk away
This is not the time to make a scene
So stay inside, girl, go home and hide, girl
No one wants to hear when you complain
Don't you ever normalise our pain
Don't you ever fuck with us again
Don't you ever undermine our pain
Don't you ever fuck with us again

This album is amazing from start to finish. My favourite track is The Golden Hind closely followed by Mow The Sward.
