[Ending] |-----------*| |-----------*| |-2========-*| |-2========-*| |-2========-*| |-0========-*| From unchallenged doctrines before When "manifest destinies" carved Nations from innocent blood That soaks this wretched earth yet more To the passing of history's dream From kingly to corporate elite In glory these conqueror's thrust Their pious swords of empire Their colonies staining the map Their pawns imposing the class division Another imperial act Cloaked in the shroud of "liberation" Is it freedom's mission or the fascist vision? Is it christ compassion or coerced conversion? Sanctified industry and savior modernity! Spreading over oceans Crusading on hypocrisy This modern greed ambassador Comes masked as democracy Your god is chosen Is oil the blood of their christ Cold, dripping and black As each corpse pays to enhance Their burning lust for opulence? Holding the cross in their hand The priests of capital feast And devour the fruit of their land In consecrated warlust The patriot's honor's unquestioned As the carrion rots in his backyard And what noble intentions are not Born from the bottom of tyranny's heart? Is it freedom's mission or the fascist vision? Is it christ compassion or coerced conversion? Saving humanity with poverty's liturgy! On the flag and bible stand Their moralistic monarchy With red, white and blood Smeared over eyes deceived The crowds will follow Force feeder of fiction and lies Your nation is lost and dead Another map drawn, another state Yet another victim of the terror fear mandate Another page turned, another book burned Onward christian soldiers, let them burn! -------------
