Lyrics

Said he,
I can no longer sanction
any war for any purpose
under god's sun or stars
and they put him in chains

Said he,
I can no longer sanction
any war for any purpose
under god's sun or stars
and they showed him the scaffold

Said he,
I can no longer sanction
any war for any purpose
under god's sun or stars
and they laid his head on the block

Said he,
I can no longer sanction
any war for any purpose
under god's sun or stars
and the axe fell

Whereupon
the multitude fell silent
thinking,
well,
he could be right....
