Reverend Glasseye — Sleep Sweet Countrymen lyrics

Lyrics

I pledge allegiance to our country men
Our country it is safe again
As we safely go to bed at night
In our warm nests

The closer I get
I’m a very stupid man
And I’ll lead them to the slaughter
Save for son and daughter?
But the price it is uncertain
And the way it is so dangerous
To those of little pride
And I’ll wash my hands clean
In the waters of optimism
Contaminating? with eager sacrifice, my friends
With eager sacrifice
Eager sacrifice, my friends
Oh eager sacrifice
Sleep sweet countrymen
Till we need you again
We will raise our arms
Against a place of harm
And I will fight with thee
All in the name of need
Get on your battle knees
And please don’t make a sound
The soldiers are asleep
And our holy land in question
Most important lesson
Is
