All That I Require

(album: For You To See The Stars - 2017)

We've been insulted boys
And we must not hesitate
They're different and they're dangerous
Deserving of our hate
So follow me and I'll whip all your fears into fire
I've got all the answers I'm the whore that you desire

Those neighbors who talk funny
Well, I'll make them move away
And the ones who disagree
We'll put them in their place
Those malcontents, muckrakers
Protesters in the street
Won't make you feel uncomfortable
I'll lay 'em at your feet

I'll make us strong again
You'll sleep safely in your beds
I'll rain down hell upon those dirty mongrels' heads
Your pantries will be full
And your faith will be inspired
And the blood of all your children
Is all that I require

I'll seduce your anger
And I'll massage your pride
You'll feel so good at first when I take you for a ride
But I told you who I am and when it's too late to resist
Remember you're the one who chose this scorpion to kiss

I'll make us strong again
You'll sleep safely in your bed
I'll reign down hell upon those dirty mongrels' heads
Your pantries will be full
And your faith will be inspired
And the blood of all your children
Is all that I require

I'll always need new enemies
So you'll always need me
New fears and distractions to tantalize and tease
Your pantries will be empty for the glory I desire
You see the blood of all your children
Is all that I require

Your skin-and-bones grandchildren
They won't ask me the tale
I'll be buried beneath the rubble
After my last scheme has failed
No you're the ones they'll blame
For their orphaned world that bleeds
For all those days you slept instead of learning from history
