Razor sharp intake of breath
England's rose has drowned to death
She wept into her lovers dress
Shrill laughs bereft there's nothing left but to destroy,
Destroy it all
She said destroy, destroy it all
Do as your broken heart desires
She cast icons into the fire
Spat bile at the self serving liars
Who make the likes of us pariahs
Now we destroy
Destroy it all
She said destroy, destroy it all
Rob these symbols of their power
Lest this new flesh approach full flower
She looked at her escape and laughed
Now smiles from faded photographs
We must destroy
Destroy it all
She said destroy, destroy it all
