There Will be Blood
There will be blood, I say, such blood,
Prodigious on the ground!
Bodies dead upon the mud,
And screaming to astound.
Petrol is the boon we chase—
The booty of black gold,
Gathered from the earth apace,
And to the bidders sold.
Lives awash like jetsam stuff,
A river of demise,
Greed too strong and rampant tough,
The dollar in our eyes.
Who would thwart this avarice?
Or stem the rushing tide,
Throw them from the precipice!
Tis unto death they ride!
Fill the coffers to the brim!
It’s oil makes us rich!
Tear the owners limb from limb,
And hurl them in the ditch.
We will conquer by the sword,
For life to us is cheap,
All our profits you’ll applaud,
(Our conscience is skin deep.)
There will be such blood of course,
But that’s no bother, see?
“Oil is our sacred source”—
Our militant decree!
