Bring Out The Guillotine

The pendulum swings 

The congregation sings

Who was last, now is first

Those who were in power

Are now the ones who cower

Under a newly raised fist

Puritan oppressors

Embroidered scarlet letters

Religion enforced by a king

Those who won’t adhere 

Don't belong here

Bring out the guillotine

The pendulum swings 

The congregation sings

Who was up, now is down

Those who were in power

Are now the ones who cower

Bitter seeds have been sown

Progressive oppressors 

Think they're your betters

Religion enforced by a king

Shame and humiliation

Public castration

Bring out the guillotine

The pendulum swings 

The congregation sings

Who rises, surely will fall

Those who were in power

Are now the ones who cower

Mute and in a thrall

Freedom's in the balance

There's not any chance

The king gives up his ring

Boundless desire to control

Your words and your soul

Bring out the guillotine
