All Consuming Fire

Gm
  False Maria Rises up from the 
corporate slab,
All clad in flawless steel.
"Hello boys" she says and the pack 
dogs gather,
D/F#
Slavering around at her heel,
        Bb
And the women try to stretch their 
faces,
F/A
Hoping to look more like her,
    Cm
And chanting her name, they hurl 
themselves,
G/B                         Gm
Deep into the all consuming fire.

Verse :
Gm
  So onwards to the feast to end all
 feasting,
Onwards to Midas Hall,
Where the treasures of the world 
reproduce themselves,
       D/F#
Like a horde of cancerous cells.
        Bb
You can track the spread of the 
virus,

       F/A
By the newsreaders' colourfull 
attire,
      Cm
Let's go there now, reporting live,
         G/B                    
From the chaos scenes at the all 
           Gm
consuming fire.

Verse 3:
Gm
  Save us from these justifications,
When every one of them is a lie,
Pax Americana reigns and rains,
     D/F#
From two miles in the sky.
    Bb
Men rise from their beds and shave 
their heads,
    F/A
And wait for the orders to come,
            Cm
But there's still no word, there's 
still no word,
G/B
Still no word from the front.
            Gm
And while a billion hungry eyes are 
watching us
       D/F#
From beyond the citadel wall,
           Bb
We found a thousand ways to lay 
waste the planet,
And we're going to use them all.
  Cm
A culture in just two dimensions
Is all that we require,
           Bb
Because it burns so well, it burns 
so well,
   Cm                       
So blazing bright in the all 
           Gm
consuming fire.

Verse 4:
Gm    Bb
  The captain abandoned ship years 
ago,
    F
But no-one thought to inquire,
           Cm
And so the band plays on, we sail 
gently west,
   G/B                           
So gently into the all consuming 
Gm
fire.
