The Anabaptist Rag

The anabaptist rag

Performed by Johnny Stranger

Written by Peter Anthony

Mechanical charlatan 

A god of deception unveiled

Matthys, you propagate

A truth that we all must prevail

The future has left us all back in the dust

The proof of the lettering

Is a massacre led by the just

He who laughs last

Confirms the way a child 

Is supposed to act

Hey, she who cries death

Has learned the curse 

Of the Anabaptist Rag

The militant sacrifice

The martyr we make of our blood 

Volcanic hypocrisy

Our battlements brace for the flood

The past is a dying scream lost on wind

Here now the end can begin again

He who laughs last

Confirms the way a child 

Is supposed to act

Hey, she who cries death

Has learned the curse 

Of the Anabaptist Rag

Confessions of desire

Convictions of godless disgrace

But this is the new dawn

And you are the old interface

He who laughs last

Confirms the way a child 

Is supposed to act

Hey, She who cries death

Has learned the curse 

Of the Anabaptist Rag
