G A Bm
T'is the loathsome right of lions and lords
G A
To visit their might upon lambs

Oh butcher and beast, tyrant and cabal
Em A Bm
I am a lion no longer
[Instrumental bridge]

[Verse]
G A Bm
For empire and flag, for captain and king
G A
I offered no quarter nor mercy
Bm F#m C#m F#m
Spurred by the rage of a thousand vengeful gods
Em A Bm
And blinded by men of ambition
[Instrumental bridge]

G A Bm
Such industry is violence and war!
G A
And how the ends are not all they claim

Righteous crusades bear bullion and control
Em A Bm
And garnish the blood of a nation

G A Bm
So beware the promise of exotic frontiers
G A
Where the battle of nowhere is waged
Bm F#m C#m F#m
Where patriot sons are put to the sword
Em A Bm
And lost in the strains of an anthem
