Burn the middle east
They don't take showers and stink
women and kids first!

Old pirates, yes, they rob I;
Sold I to the merchant ships,
Minutes after they took I
From the bottomless pit.

By the 'and of the Almighty.

Triumphantly.

These songs of freedom? -

Redemption songs;

Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery;
None but ourselves can free our minds.
Have no fear for atomic energy,
'Cause none of them can stop the time.

We've got to fulfil de book.

The dragon awoke
Fiery morning breath - *Cough* - Eh..
Beowulf is no stranger

Underground, far off
Behind the curtained stage
Lay slaughtered sheep

Channeled garbage
Out of tune 24/7, until...
