What absolute
Fanatic idiot
Claiming the words
Of gods on his side
Came up
With this idea

And see young man
How sons and daughters
In their religious ardor
Would have their own mother
On the pyre

So be prepared
Lieutenant when I give the word
Regardless of your moral incertitude
To open fire

I’m old corps
That still abhors
Such bestial cruelty
However robed

Now let’s change this thing
Or kill them all

Yo Captain,

How's about we say we did, and don't.
