lyrics

Underneath the moon is Queen Victoria.
And in her picture window, she sees them marching on.
She is the one with hemophilia
who weighs organization over brains or brawn.

“To all the tribes of Earth I extend an invitation.”
As for what you’re lives are worth, I’ll save my commentation.
While all her Ministers of feeble constitution
still think their enemies will get what’s coming to them.

Underneath the moon is Queen Victoria.
And in her picture window, she sees them marching on.
She is the one with hemophilia
who weighs organization over brains or brawn
or brains or brawn or brains and . . . ?

And while looking out, she must’ve had a brainstorm,
and, out of anxiety, she wrote this proclamation.
She saw an empire both primitive and war-torn.
That’s when “breathed those feelings of religious toleration.”
