listen, my comrades-in-arms
rally to the cause
let us dither and dally
as we raise our baroque
flags unto the day
we will run the dark race
with tortured smiles
and dance among our enemy's dangling forms
as we unite church and state
and drink ourselves insensate
in tribute to the original sin
as we cover ourselves in glory
with the blood of innocents
this coup d'etat
this elemental moment
this way out...
