The Iron Republic Part 5: The Crash Lyrics

He could not sleep

The events of the day on constant replay

He could not sleep

A trip to the city

She was charming and witty

She sided with him

Whenever he and her father did speak

A year had past

She'd declared her love for Mr Barrington

But it, could never last

There was another and her heart was already won

Professor Hallam, he was a good man

The most musically gifted in all of the land

Professor Hallam would make her his bride

Though it broke his heart Mr Barrington knew it was right

Fifteen hundred feet above the plane

Distant mountains could be seen and his heart did pound

Through sunny fields the rivers wound there way

And through villages and towns

He'd never loved her more than he did right now

She laughed as she flew them higher and higher

But something was wrong and the sail it spiralled down

The frame did crack and the canvas was ripped asunder

Professor Hallam, he was a brave man

Flew his sail beneath them to save his love

Professor Hallam he would give his life

Though it broke his bones he knew that it was right
