about

This track was inspired by Amanda Foreman's book 'A world on Fire'.

lyrics

The Napier Ball


North and south will get together
It will be quite a show
Then a wild rose stands before me
I’ll tell you what I know

But now we dance together
At this last ball
Before you run to London
Looking for war

But our union’s swayed by silver
And the words you write
Golden coins could drag you under
Dressed in cotton for a fight

But now we dance together
At this last ball
Before you run to London
Looking for war

But now we dance together
At this last ball
Before you run to London
Looking for war
