Fall on Their Swords Lyrics


Dubious and murky

What aligns all parties

Strike swifter, stealthier, neater

Untraced conscience cleaner

Untraced conscience cleaner

But we're armed with an ethic

But we're armed with an ethic

So to speak

'Defence' and 'ordnance'

As commodities

Satiate like food and drink

Satiate like food and drink

Prostrate in it

In it to win it

In it to win it

But we're armed with an ethic

But we're armed with an ethic

So to speak

Fall on their swords

Fall on their swords

Pragmatic in dissent

To curb the arms you circulated

Blacklists and shortlists

Alternate them on grace and favour

At barrel's end

There are no convention

We fall on their swords

We fall on their swords

Dubious and murky

What aligns all parties

Strike swifter, stealthier, neater

Untraced conscience cleaner

Dubious and murky

What aligns all parties

Armed with an ethic

'Defence' and 'ordnance'

As commodities

Satiate like food and drink

Prostrate in it

In it to win it

Die, die, die, die, die...
