At Runnymede the Barons came
To force King John to bend his knee
They made him sign his life away
And so was born Democracy

From Agincourt to Waterloo
Each battle fought to keep us free
With every passing year it grew
The flower of sweet Democracy

Now those words like History will fade
On ancient parchment faint to see
And as we sign our lives away
Then so will die Democracy

From the Meadows to the towns
Flags will all be taken down
And on the horizon we will see
The sunset on Democracy

Europe

Europe is a Swedish rock band formed in Upplands Väsby, Sweden in 1979, by frontman Joey Tempest, guitarist John Norum, bassist Peter Olsson, and drummer Tony Reno. They obtained a major breakthrough in Sweden in 1982 by winning the televised competition “Rock-SM” (Swedish Rock Championships): it was the first time this competition was held, and Europe became a larger success than the competition itself.
