lyrics

With all justified crimes against the world
The pious have come
In a heavenly shape and with corporate applause
The pious have come
Their profit has turned us against our own instinct
The pious have come
And given us a culture of gluttons and poor
The pious have come

For the just
For the peaceful
This world
Must remain

With a cold war turned up a few degrees
The rulers shall rule
Imagined mushroom cloud and with shadows of the enemy
The rulers shall rule
If we obey the rules that they ignore
The rulers shall rule
An eternity in imagined punishment
The rulers shall rule

Fairy tales end
We’re not that easily fooled
Freedom will begin with your head on a pike
