Just look at that shopkeeper peddling his wares

Don?t you wonder what keeps him there, day after day,

Begging for gold as his hair turns to gray?

Only a fool would make martyrs from heathens 
                   Bbm         Abm            Eb 
And find them so lively when they?re barely breathing

Just barely breathing?

To smother and choke the souls of our town?

Without the guidance of rulers and tyrants
