We need a foreboding tenant
To guard the fort, and pay the rent
In historical Lewes, just over the way
We’ll only be back for Bonfire Night day
To burn crosses and effigies
Bang old cannons with the band
Inviting skirmishes with the neighbours
Before it all… gets out of hand…
And we start making more laws
Instead of maintaining our oath
To save ourselves from our flaws
And our tribe’s unhealthy growth
Go cast belief out…
To fight with doubt
They know it’s a front for our mission
To fight the power, subvert and ramp…
Historical re-enactments and scenarios
Into indoctrination at winter camp
When the locals stop singing, they begin to shout
Bring the tuning forks in, and get the pitchforks out
Beyond hope in the valley, past the old prison to rally
Between the rock and hard place to avoid the wipeout
So take the king up the hill, for the kill
Let his blood spill, and issue the threat
Consent parliament, to represent, our intent
To clear the debt, and never let, tyrants forget…
We cast belief out…
And fight with doubt
I’m an anarchist. Oh, you’re so naughty
Maybe try harder to cooperate
I’m a misanthrope. Sure, some folk are bad
So, does everyone deserve your hate?
I’m a nihilist. Yes. You may be meaningless
But the whole world? What’s your point?
I’m a sceptic. Spread doubt and smear fear
On the greasy pole, that you anoint
I’m an agnostic. Your lot, can’t know anything
Despite being surrounded by clues
I’m an atheist. No, there couldn’t possibly
Be a higher being than you
