"Chain Of Command"

How bright are the fires of thought
In a chain of command
How bright is the medical torch
When it's put in our hand

My microbes and I
Can't wait to lay down and die
We realise that we must be spent
Like the cells that dissolve when a brainwave is sent

How bright are the fires of thought
In a chain of command

How bright are the fires of thought
In a chain of command
How bright is the medical torch
When it's put in our hand

My bloodgroup and me
A body of soldiers are we
To the wound we quickly flowed
And we fought with the weapons in our
Chemical code

How bright are the fires of thought
In a chain of command

My microbes and I
Can't wait to lay down and die
We realise that we must be spent
Like the cells that dissolve when a brainwave is sent

How bright are the fires of thought
In a chain of command

Chain of command, chain of command
Chain of command, chain of command
Chain of command, chain of command...
