Old Mother Europe Lyrics – Arlekin
Singer: Arlekin
Title: Old Mother Europe
‘neath the crooked and old oak tree my ashes lie in peace
Priests and warriors, kings and queens, the masters of all degrees
Their slaves and mistresses found serenity
Underground where insects crawl and rats dwell in their filth
My decaying bones won’t roll, they rot under the field
Until they’re dug and filmed for all of you
When there’s nothing to hold on to in current broken age
They’ll be clutching onto the past with irrational rage
For thеm the world’s a stage – waiting now, in the wings
Lost in thе maze of her traditions, customs, rules
Locked within the ancient rituals made to guard the fools
From the merry south to the gloomy north
Her servants at a loss: “What shall we do now?”
Her entourage is scattering across the lands
Frightened and bemused with gold and silver in every hand
She can’t change her ways, shivering in dismay
Asking them to stay – look how they run now!
Old Mother Europe is smiling through the tears
Pledged to keep the promises, let down the beliefs
Old Mother Europe with Father in the clouds
To adapt is to improve – time is running out
Now there’s a chance to throw away the chains of old
Free the colonies, reduce the control and let people vote
But the forests burn, oceans won’t return
Will we ever learn? Is it too late now?
Old Mother Europe is smiling through the tears
Pledged to keep the promises, let down the beliefs
Old Mother Europe with Father in the clouds
To adapt is to improve – time is running out
Born and raised by Old Mother Europe
Didn’t have a choice
Pull the strings and I will dance
And sing without the voice
Born and raised by Old Mother Europe
It’s all part of the plan
Until one day I realize
That I don’t give a damn
Born and raised by Old Mother Europe
We’re people, not a herd
The change is coming for us all
And I want to be heard
Born and raised by Old Mother Europe
Now I’m standing tall
Empires built for centuries
But we all know – in seconds they fall
Born and raised by Old Mother Europe
