[Verse 1]
         F                  G         Am
T'is the loathsome right of lions and lords
   F                      G
To visit their might upon lambs
   Am          Em     Bm           Em
Oh butcher and beast, tyrant and cabal
  Dm           G  Am
I am a lion no longer

  Am                                     G    Am

[Verse 2]
    F                    G           Am
For empire and flag, for captain and king
  F                      G
I offered no quarter nor mercy
Am             Em        Bm                Em
Spurred by the rage of a thousand vengeful gods
    Dm                  G   Am
And blinded by men of ambition

  Am                                     G    Am

[Verse 3]
F                G            Am
Such industry is violence and war!
            F                     G
And how the ends are not all they claim
Am        Em            Bm          Em
Righteous crusades bear bullion and control
    Dm                     G Am
And garnish the blood of a nation

[Verse 4]
   F                       G        Am
So beware the promise of exotic frontiers
          F                    G
Where the battle of nowhere is waged
      Am      Em       Bm         Em
Where patriot sons are put to the sword
    Dm                        G Am
And lost in the strains of an anthem
