For empires carried on the broken backs
Of serfs and servants set in caste
For masters woken in the night
Tied down and doused, their beds ignite
The stench of boiling flesh will wipe the slates a sparkling white
As heads of state burn in the sun
Strung up on crosses, every one
Maliciously we drive the nails, one by one
To flesh and wasted skin
With centuries of spite we drive each fucking nail in
Brick by brick tear down these walls
The prisons and the shopping malls
No churches stand on promised land
Not on our watch, not with our hands or minds
Will we support this paradigm, subvert or face decline
As heads of state burn in the sun
Strung up on crosses, every one
Maliciously we drive the nails, one by one
We’re afraid to upset what we’ve deemed common sense
In reality is a vicious indifference
In unspeakable ways it manifests
Our destiny is resistance
As heads of state burn in the sun
Strung up on crosses, every one
Maliciously we drive the nails, one by one
To flesh and wasted skin
With centuries of spite we drive each fucking nail in
