5. Rally ‘Round The Black Flag
When the thunderbolt has fallen through the windowpane
When the blunderbuss is rampant in the House of Pain
When you're naked in the hallway with a naked flame
When you've signed a sucker's contract with the Kings of Shame
When the symbols all have fallen into mythic space
When the silver trumpet trumpets out your fall from grace
When the Maker cannot keep it up or keep the pace
With the crazy pagans of the god-damned human race
With the armies of the barmy marching through the night
Those who trample on the shrapnel of your human rights
When the weasels with the weapons want to take a bite
When the generals are urging all the idiots to fight
