Pox Americana

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Put out the fires, enlist a call to all our banners Erase them all and punish anyone who abdicates or throws As we terrorize their homes Set light the pyre, conscript an army of fanatics Eradicate the earth and burn in effigy the scientists and the law [Chorus] So let the trumpet sound, I want to burn it down And let the meek surrender Surround the abattoir and let the guilty stand alone [Verse 2] Attack the walls, arrange the arsenic and tannin Poison the well and watch them die behind the parapets they've built [Chorus] So let the trumpet sound, I want to burn it down And let the meek surrender Surround the abattoir and let the guilty stand alone [Outro] When all the tomes are read and all the blood is shed Who's left to render judgment?
