“Sleep Sweet Countrymen” By Reverend Glasseye from the album ‘Our Lady of the Broken Spine’ so some my be a bit off. Sorry. Enjoy! I pledge allegiance to our countrymen our country it is safe again as we safely go to bed at night in our warm nests N.. I sing my song I have been this place before as I spoke on to the children my hands they seem to tremble the closer I get I'm a very stupid man and I'll lead them to the slaughter save the son and daughter of our failing every-man our love is a love that gives but the price it is uncertain and the way it is so dangerous to those of little bread and I wash my hands clean in the waters of optimism contaminating pearls with eagles sacrifice my friends eagles sacrifice eagles sacrifice my fiends eagles sacrifice sleep sweet countrymen till we need you again we will raise our arms against the face of horror and I will fight and feed oh in the name of need get on your battered knees and please don't make a sound the soldiers are asleep in the holy land of questions the most important lesson: they get out alive and I call out to the parson he waves his hands against me my countrymen like Christians with the li-ons around and I call out to the general and his most vital position as the king of isolation in this land of suicides and I call out to the maidens who wear the pelts of jackals and little less but shackles fill our lust-filled appetites, my friends our lust-filled appetites our lust-filled appetites, my friends our lust-filled appetites this sweet countrymen is where our paths will end your duties pair adjust my duties what I must only I think of you in what I have to do I'll burn the chapel house and make attempts of truce and I don't live a gifted life I'll hoist your flag and make it mine against the wall that's closing tight I'll send your wounded down the line oh I will count the ways oh each and every day 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 so please rise for the very honored judge the jury has you to appeal we'll make this gallow pole your home we'll make our motives very clear (other lyrics for round, over previous verse) I will fall into the depths of hell before I sail this ship a port forget about the house of god and go away this house of fear as the saints go marching in I know I want more gin to think and if I die before I wake I bet you are my sin to take END: sleep sweet countrymen oh my country-men sleep sweet countrymen oh my country-men sleep sweet countrymen oh my country-men sleep sweet country sleep sweet country-men
