Free your tongue and spit the words
Show the funeral party what you are worth
Hear the rhythm of the bones like drums
Sing a prayer for the ramparts guns
Watch the dying perish with foolish pride
Let loose the dogs with clenching jaws and radium eyes
Write it down and spit the words
Show the salesman what your soul is worth
Hear the rhythm of a sickened heart
Break your back and your body apart
Watch the graves as we set fire to the rising tide
The dead will rise with reaching arms and radiant eyes
