CAm
Feel the Cfear in my enemy's Ameyes

FG
And I discovered that my Fcastles Gstand
CAm
Upon Cpillars of salt and Ampillars of sand
FG
Fhear Jerusalem Gbells are ringing
CAm
CRoman cavalry Amchoirs are singing
FG
FBe my mirror, my Gsword, and shield

My Cmissionaries in a Amforeign field

Never an Fhonest Gword

People Ccouldn't believe what AmI'd become

For my Chead on a silver Amplate

Just a puppet on a Flonely Gstring
