G                     F              Bb
Jewels drip red and I don't sound proud

Treason is ambition I want dead procession

All we got unholy left-overs of a compromise

G                     F                Bb
Leaving us like butterflies trapped in frost

England's glory lives on in world wide genocide

G            F                           Bb
So celebrate buchenwald as her majesty's heir

G                    F                    Bb

No matter what we own we can't buy freedom

Bb                       C               D
Throw myself against you cause you ain't frail

Bb                     C                 D
Underneath silk riches sixty six million giving slaves

    Bb                   C          D
The needle of religion's gonna rust my skin

Bb                 C                  D
Tear out and exit obeyance of created sin

G                F                    Bb
Faces pressed at gates of anniversary torture

G                  F                     Bb
Without these fake images we'd never bow down

G                    F                    Bb
Don't need this history but we still accept

G                  F                     Bb
Conscripted into a past that invents our guilt
[Chorus]
