Spoils Of Victory Lyrics
On all horizons storm clouds loom and roll across the skyThe river bursts its banks and vomits soil into the mouthAs thunder breaks the silence, a young child cries!Between the night and the days first light the leaders made a pactTo raise the rotting corpse of war and set the wheels in motionThe stage a heaving battlefield would support the final actWhile the authors hide in sattelites or forts beneath the oceanAnd in this play We’re cast as foolsTo blindly play By others’ rulesNow the dust has settled and the stench completely clearThen return the victors to claim their wretched crownBut from the fleshheaps of the slain, there comes no cheerTheir game is over, the chips are downYou arrived like a breath from the angel of deathFamine, disease and a life on your knees, guaranteedWhen you put them in power
