E
I am the one, Orgasmatron, the outstretched grasping hand
My image is of agony, my servants rape the land
A
Obsequious and arrogant, clandestine and vain
E
Two thousand years of misery, of torture in my name
C# F#
Hypocrisy made paramount, paranoia the law
E C D E
My name is called religion, sadistic, sacred whore
E
I twist the truth, I rule the world, my crown is called deceit
I am the emperor of lies, you grovel at my feet
A
I rob you and I slaughter you, your downfall is my gain
E
And still you play the sycophant and rebel in your pain
C# F#
And all my promisses are lies, all my love is hate
E C D E
I am the politician, and I decide your fate
E
I march before a martyred world, an army for the fight
I speak of great heroic days, of victory and might
A
I hold a banner drenched in blood, I urge you to be brave
E
I lead you to your destiny, I lead you to your grave
C# F#
Your bones will build my palaces, your eyes will stud my crown
E C D E
For I am Mars the god of war, and I will cut you down.
