The world is my expense, the cost of my desire / Jesus blessed me with its future and I protect it with fire / So raise your fists and march around, don’t dare take what you need / I’ll jail and bury those committed and smother the rest in greed / Crawl with me into tomorrow or I’ll drag you to your grave / I’m deep inside your children, they’ll betray you in my name

Sleep now in the fire / Sleep now in the fire

The lie is my expense, the scope of my desire / The Party blessed me with its future and I protect it with fire

I am The Nina, The Pinta, The Santa Maria / The noose and the rapist / And 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

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…
