If you imagine the world
Without you in it
You can start a war
And you could win it
There’s an arc of triumph
In every fable
While folk memory is
Unsteady, unstable
An indelible mark
On history still
Requires no more
Than an act of will

It fell to Earth like a bird shot through the heart
And in a flash the world was blown apart
Do not forget every man, woman, and child
Not history made, history defiled

If you imagine a past
On the road ahead
You can end a war
With no fear of the dead
With the mark of Cain
And the sense of Abel
And a dozen men
To sit at your table
An offer of bread
A promise of wine
But you love silver
You’ve not come to dine

It fell to Earth like a bird shot through the heart
And in a flash the world was blown apart
Do not forget every man, woman, and child
Not history made, history defiled

Suffer our fates to come unto us
Not broke on a wheel, the eyes of the Argus
Where we stand we will stand, let the gods kill us all
The line in the sand is scratched on the wall.

It fell to Earth like a bird shot through the heart
And in a flash the world was blown apart
Do not forget every man, woman, and child
Not history made, history defiled

Imagine your death
The world will still turn
At your last gasp
Too late to discern
In this cold life
You the brute
Us twisting the knife
So falls Caesar, Fuhrer, you
Was it worth
The blood and the pain
Your mad king on the ground
Writhing insane
