LYRICS FOR "Sleep Now in the Fire"

The world is my expense
It's the cost of my desire
Jesus blessed me with its future
And I protect it with fire

So raise your fists and march around
Just dont take what you need
Ill jail and bury those committed
And smother the rest in greed

Crawl with me into tomorrow
Or Ill drag you to your grave
Im deep inside your children
Theyll betray you in my name

Yea, yea, sleep now in the fire
Yea, yea

The lie is my expense
The scope of my desire
The party blessed me with it's future
And I protect it with fire

But I am the Nina, the Pinta, the Santa Maria
The noose and the rapist, the fields overseer
The agents of orange, the Priests of Hiroshima
The cost of my desire, sleep now in the fire

Yea, yea, sleep now in the fire
Yea, yea, sleep now in the fire

For it's the end of history
It's caged and frozen still
There is no other pill to take
So swallow the one that made you ill

The Nina, the Pinta, the Santa Maria
The noose and the rapist, the fields overseer
The agents of orange, the Priests of Hiroshima
The cost of my desire, sleep now in the fire

Sleep now in the fire
Sleep now in the fire
Sleep now in the fire
Sleep now in the fire
