Demoncrats |
| I am not he, nor master, nor lord |
| No crown to wear, no cross to bear in stations |
| I am not he, nor shall be, warlord of nations |
| These heroes have run before me |
| Now dead upon the flesh piles, see? |
| Waiting for their promised resurrection, there is none |
| Nothing but the marker, crown or cross, in stone upon these graves |
| Promise of the ribbon was all it took |
| Where only the strap would leave it’s mark upon these slaves |
| What flag to thrust into this flesh |
| Rag, bandage, mop in their flowing death |
| Taken aside, they were pointed a way, for god, queen and country |
| Now in silence they lie |
| They ran beside these masters, children of sorrow |
| As slaves to that trilogy they had no future |
| They believed in democracy, freedom of speech |
| Yet dead on the flesh piles |
| I hear no breath, I hear no hope, no whisper of faith |
| From those who have died for some others' privilege |
| Out from your palaces, princes and queens |
| Out from your churches, you clergy, you christs |
| I’ll neither live nor die for your dreams |
| I’ll make no subscription to your paradise |
| I’ll make no subscription to your paradise |
| I’ll make no subscription to your paradise |
| I’LL MAKE NO SUBSCRIPTION TO YOUR PARADISE… |
