Death and Freedom

Revolution streaks the sky.
Tingles my skin like a gadfly
Sound of thunder, hear my cry!
Angel of death, pierce my side!
Immolate me in oil and lye.
God set me free!
God set me free!
Ignorance flows from the valley of death.
I flee from the creeping death.
Bubonic sores on my back,
Bruised skin, charred and black
Rats eat the bones of kings.
Rust grows on their golden rings.
Emperors in the desert land:
Fight for treasure in the sand....
