[rev. June 23, 2021]

The afterlife is full
Of the whispers of salvation
Gilgamesh takes off his armour
In the halls of Montezuma
Servants of the tyrant
Are all fucking in the garden
The empire rolls stretched thin
Right down to the Mediterranean
The Egyptian quack who killed you
Thrown into a dungeon
Brutal thrust of a scimitar
Or the scar of a surgeon
Mars burns on in a troubled sky
Right down to the horizon
And the Tigris River burst the banks
Just short of Armageddon
