I call on great Dagon

And his six legions of demons

On Mammon devourer of children

And Pluto, evil lord of hell

And all their minions in line descendent;

I call on them all

On Kings and decorated captains

All conquerors and commanders

And rank on rank behind their regiments

Of Politicians, Priests and Pressmen

On all those suave deceivers

Those silky, smiling tigers

Who promised paradise and gave us wilderness

Making their wealth our woe

So their profit is our loss,

And all our lands are rifled by these rascals.

 

I call you now with greatest voice

Cry halt against the harrying of my people.

With tripling clarion and harshest trumpet

All our unsung heroes will arise

And stand in solid squadrons at our side

And end forever your dominion.

 

And we shall lift like mountain sides

And toss you from our shoulders

Like leviathan heave

And tumble you all to destruction.
