[Verse 1]
When the pride left the cave
The wind swept their manes
And lines of geese saluted
A stick-and-tree parade
From battle they seemed
All war-torn and weak
[Refrain]
But they ride the lions right up
To piss in the sea
[Verse 2]
There's a wall in the glade
And they all come in spades
To charge the rising Eastern tide
Sweeping change
But the minstrel appears
I'll sharpen her shears
[Refrain]
And they ride the lions right up
To piss in the sea
[Bridge]
Steady at the rudder
Steady at the rudder
Swing us 'round
Swing us 'round
[Verse 3]
At last on the land
They all drop a hand
To celebrate the morning
In believing stands
'Til the last of the flames
Blew all the graves
[Refrain]
And they ride the lions right up
And piss in the sea
Yeah, they ride the lions right up
And piss in
