Am G Am
[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

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

Am G
[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
