roses & brandy

willyweed

Roses and brandy

Candles and wine

 

Elegant trappings

In regal times

 

Victorian ladies

And proper gents

 

Conquering armies

And new governments

 

Discovering continents

Taming the wild

 

Adventurous journeys

Generals with style

 

Setting sail

Leaving home

 

Into the future

To places unknown

 

 

The heroes and villains

The sinners and saints

 

All for their fortunes

They came to meet fate

 

History or his-story

The revolution has been won

 

And the truth we hold self-evident

Must apply to every-one
