PRELUDIUM

Behold the crucifix, what does it symbolize?

Pallid incompetence hanging on a tree

VERSE

Lo, I hear the fighters coming

Over hill and dale and plain

With the battle cry of ages

In a Rebel world again.

Who'd forge their swords to plow-shares,

Shall sweat in bitter yokes.

The free-born race and fearless.

Must deal out battle strokes

In the ward of the Great Caesar, and Grim Hannibal,

in the times of Belzchazzar, the Pharaohs and all;

the days of Rienzi and Roland the Bold;

all banners were waving for women and gold.

CHORUS

It is might against might,

remember, by land and sea,

man against man,

money against money,

brains against brains,

and-everything to the winner.

It is might against might,

It is the Secular Law.
