[DanaC]

The War is dead;
long live The War.
No hidden stash;
no secret store.

And in my name,
they sent the planes:
that dropped the bombs;
that brought the rain.

A million marched,
and were ignored;
voices drowned out,
by shock and awe.

They swagger on;
they know no shame.
How many dead?
How many maimed?

And in my name,
they broke it down.
Babylon burns.
Babylon drowns.

The War is dead;
long live The War.
And in my name,
they sent the planes.
A million marched,
and were ignored.
They swagger on;
they know no shame.

And in my name, they broke it down.
And in my name, they sent the rain.
And in my name, Babylon burns;
And in my name, Babylon drowns.

( On that last verse, it originally read:

And in my name
they broke it down.
And in my name,
They sent the rain.
Babylon burns;
Babylon drowns)


Not sure which to go with :P. I am thinking the first one ( rewrite)
