Instruments Of Persuasion

A farce - so sincere

A farce - so austere

A farce - hartfelt pleas

A farce - shock and awe to force a retreat



Ten thousand corpses in the wake of his whims

Count many thousands more on the way to obedience



Duty - to uphold

Duty - to make bold

Duty - purity so skewed

Duty - break out the arms, don't spare the rod.



Ten thousand corpses in the wake of his whims

Waves and flashes smiles, with the gall of an unmarked man

Rallying calls to the wilfully blinkered

Hands on the heart and heads in the sand



Instruments of persuasion

Instruments of persuasion



Stand shoulder-to-shoulder and win the bonanza.

A sweetener from death to get back in the good books
