Secular law

Behold the crucifix, what does it symbolize?
Pallid incompetence hanging on a tree
VERSE
Lo, I hear the fighters coming
Over hill and dale and plain
With the battle cry of ages
In a Rebel world again.
Who'd forge their swords to plow-shares,
Shall sweat in bitter yokes.
The free-born race and fearless.
Must deal out battle strokes
In the ward of the Great Caesar, and Grim Hannibal,
in the times of Belzchazzar, the Pharaohs and all
the days of Rienzi and Roland the Bold
all banners were waving for women and gold.
CHORUS
It is might against might,
remember, by land and sea,
man against man,
money against money,
brains against brains,
and-everything to the winner.
It is might against might,
It is the Secular Law.
