Fearless anarchy
gained its smile
which it had lost
a long damn while
And courage lost
to madness grip
duty became joys great lip
Let loosed the wardogs
the great ranks of men
to tilt the world
right again.
the blood dimmed tide
the pledge-birthed found
holy wars for holy ground
the privileged right of strength and might
once more guards against the night.
These the terrors, oer' over the earth
Deep the trenches, wide the girth.
That rank and file, despoil for a fight
Against the tyranny of petty lords
War is what we do when we get bored.
Be gentle not to take from anothers cup
Ye rich men who dare ease to sup
We men less ape, more wolves in nature
Gregarious, vicious, in our measure.
First is killing among the oldest leisured
The lion knows too well.
Let em slumber, or they'll send you to hell.
