HOLD DOWN THE MANOR FORT
Lyrics by Matthew Hawes
Copyright 2024, 2025 MBH Productions

It's discontent they ferment
Such chaos that they foment
Real passion that is fervent
Impossible to circumvent

There are signs of such portent
The feelings oh so potent
Words are very important
The real truth is in the moment

Scandalize their social lives
As the spies reveal the lies
When the squeals revitalize
Then the words shall dramatize

Hold down the manor fort
We're at a brand new start
No way to run away
This starts a brand new day

Hold fast! Gird your loins!
Steadfast! Guard your coins!
Hold tongue! Watch what you say!
To live another day

There are no new trails to blaze
Only villages to raze
We've entered a dark new phase
The hounds let loose and giving chase

No, do not turn a blind eye
Do not accept the vile lie
Own to what you can't deny
For now's the time we do or die

Boom
ch-ch-ch
Boom boom
ch-ch-ch
Boom boom
ch-ch-ch
Boom boom boom

Boom
ch-ch-ch
Boom boom
ch-ch-ch
Boom boom
ch-ch-ch
Boom boom boom

Hold down the manor fort
We're at a brand new start
No way to run away
This starts a brand new day

Hold fast! Gird your loins!
Steadfast! Guard your coins!
Hold tongue! Watch what you say!
To live another day

Boom
ch-ch-ch
Boom boom
ch-ch-ch
Boom boom
ch-ch-ch
Boom boom boom

Boom
ch-ch-ch
Boom boom
ch-ch-ch
Boom boom
ch-ch-ch
Boom boom boom

It's discontent they ferment
Such chaos that they foment
Real passion that is fervent
Impossible to circumvent

There are signs of such portent
The feelings oh so potent
Words are very important
The real truth is in the moment

Hold down the manor fort
We're at a brand new start
No way to run away
This starts a brand new day

Hold fast! Gird your loins!
Steadfast! Guard your coins!
Hold tongue! Watch what you say!
To live another day
To live another daaaaaaay

Boom
ch-ch-ch
Boom boom
ch-ch-ch
Boom boom
ch-ch-ch
Boom boom boom

Boom boom boom

BOOM!
