For King & Country
I will kill for you.
I will murder for you.
I will deliver bombs to their Xs for you.
Lying and cheating was only the beginning.
I will make sure your cities gleam in the sun.
The towers of your pride
will spin around like trophies of platinum
in bulletproof glass.
I will carry these stupendous visions
in my heart
until they explode
like million dollar fireworks.
I will make money for you.
I will work harder than ever.
I will marry four wives and give you
all the heirs you need to make a kingdom.
I will carry a dagger
in my pocket. A vial of poison.
A serpent cobra ready to strike
all your enemies down.
I will bring you power and glory.
As clear as the voice of a boy soprano.
As shiny as the diamonds in your crown.
More beautiful than all the virgins in heaven.
I will plant new forests you have squandered
on golf courses.
I will rebuild your throne, the one you traded
for a trinket from Iran.
I will do anything for you.
I will remove anyone who stands
in your way.
Even you.
