Decline and Fall - Europa

As the myth of foundation goes, Europa, daughter of Phoenix, was picking flowers as she saw a beautiful white bull, unaware it was Zeus disguised to trick her, and she climbed on his back. The bull jumped into the sea, swimming all the way to Crete and, as Zeus regained his human form, made love to Europa under an evergreen tree.
With a continent founded on the basis of abduction and rape, no wonder this is a land soaked in blood, plagued by territorial wars, racism, police states, general violence and particularly violence against women. This is our Europa.

EUROPA

A goddess abducted
Raped under a tree
Land then corrupted
Violence a reality

We all had a dream
To be united as one
Progress and peace
Easier said than done

Burnt out and depressed
Stripped of our dignity
Faced with last test
No place for empathy

Villains as leaders
Banks are now the white bull
People are weaker
Nothing left to loose

Land soaked in blood
In mud we crawl
Bang the war drum
As we decline and fall
