We shall die a death of ignorance
Hurling epithets instead of wonder.
We shall die a death of ignorance
Full of bluster and decanted blunder.
We shall die a death of ignorance
With our children rent asunder.
We shall die a death of ignorance
And our only hope of sustenance
Will be what’s left of our comeuppance
In the hell we’ve made of utterance
As our souls live the devil’s slumber
And the world goes down and under,
Down and under, down and under.
