  Proggy for sure, heavily classical influenced, with blues inflections in a dreamy shoegaze atmosphere.

  Proposed lyrics:

  An old, mad, blind, despised, and dying King;

  Princes, the dregs of their dull race, who flow

  Through public scorn,—mud from a muddy spring;

  Rulers who neither see nor feel nor know,

  But leechlike to their fainting country cling

  Till they drop, blind in blood, without a blow.

  A people starved and stabbed in th’ untilled field;

  An army, whom liberticide and prey

  Makes as a two-edged sword to all who wield;

  Golden and sanguine laws which tempt and slay;

  Religion Christless, Godless—a book sealed;

  A senate, Time’s worst statute, unrepealed—

  Are graves from which a glorious Phantom may

  Burst, to illumine our tempestuous day.

  • England in 1819

  By Percy Bysshe Shelley
