we did not ask for change but still it came with waving banner and in angry shout for then our people showed not calm nor tame but like a flood after long years of drought that was the moment when the word was rage that marked the turning of the ancient page when cities smouldered and when fields were burned governors fled and parliaments adjourned in such a time the truth must come in play the sacred hour of those who once were spurned who come from darkness into proper day
no one expects the world will stay the same nor that the light will once again go out now that all eyes have seen its cheery flame and minds have been resolved from fear and doubt by understanding of the proper wage now to be gained and nothing will assuage the incensed feelings of the hearts that turned truly to freedom as the wild waves churned on the bright shore and we saw the array of those once vanished who had now returned who come from darkness into proper day
the story now is not a silly game nor is it simply nonsense that we spout about the ending of all hate and shame now that the old injustice is thrown out and a new order walks upon the stage when ordinary folk may shape the age a better land may some day be discerned where each achieves the honest pay they earned and plain respect when their dark hair turns grey both simple things as far as we're concerned who come from darkness into proper day
prince we apologise you were interned your titles stripped and your petitions spurned your words ignored and servants gone away but we are with some other things concerned who come from darkness into proper day
