Woven in a Dream
Punk-rock infused bhangra, pulsating bass guitar, heroic bansuri, timpani, tumbi, syncopated, triumphant bansuri solos, building timpani swells, driving militaristic snare, powerful male vocals, anthemic gang vocal chants

Lyrics
Intro
(Hoy, hoy!)
Verse 1
The floorboards give a final groan
Damp wool and iron fill the air
Five hundred men, each one alone
I close my lids against the stare
Of the naked bulb up in the gloom!
Pre-Chorus
My breathing starts to lose its pace
The cot beneath me falls away
A different time, a different place
Begins to hold complete sway...!
Chorus
The fields are gold, the flags are saffron spun!
A phantom dhol beats with the rising sun!
The world I knew before the fight begun
Is Woven in a Dream until it’s done! (Until it’s done!)
Guitar Solo
Verse 2
The stomping feet upon the ground
A dance of life, a harvest rite
It has a new and martial sound
A syncopated, furious might
That mirrors every waking boom!
Pre-Chorus
My muscles twitch, I almost leap
A promise that my spirit keeps
This waking world is buried deep
While my exhausted body sleeps...!
Chorus
The fields are gold, the flags are saffron spun!
A phantom dhol beats with the rising sun!
The world I knew before the fight begun
Is Woven in a Dream until it’s done! (Until it’s done!)
Big Finish
This golden cloth, this memory
Is all that keeps the grey at bay
A defiant, vibrant part of me
Don't let the morning take it away...!
Bansuri and Guitar Solo
Chorus
THE FIELDS ARE GOLD, THE FLAGS ARE SAFFRON SPUN!
A phantom dhol beats with the rising sun!
The world I knew before the fight begun
Is Woven in a Dream until it’s done! (Until it’s done!)
