Slag Heap of the Gods

Thank Lord Jesus his baby didn't take
The lady from the VA always calling, calling
Megachurches echo when the Lockheed Martins sing
Baby, we should move away from the Springs

So your horrid ex-boyfriend is stateside again
A chest of medals and a terrifying grin
Sure his tour lasted one too many years
Until the war replaced his mind with the grinding of gears
Oh of course it started over something stupid
A few saber rattles later we were bombing little kids
Know that poor bastard who returned is not the man who left
All you owe him is a forwarding address, a clean cut's best

Blades in the heavens where the pagan masses pray
Ashes of the empire keep on falling, falling
Burning mountains echo with that herculean song
Baby do you think we're doing something wrong?

So your horrid ex-boyfriend is stateside again
A chest of medals and a terrifying grin
Sure his tour lasted one too many years
Until the war replaced his mind with the grinding of gears
Oh of course it started over something stupid
A few saber rattles later we were bombing little kids
Know that poor bastard who returned is not the man who left
All you owe him is a forwarding address, a clean cut's best
