On martial law and such necrocities

They write themselves	1
You know	2
Those prickless	3
Thorns	4
Those inaudible	5
Horns	6

Or...	7
Err...	8
We wrote them in,	9
We thoughtless	10
Whores	11

Now we grovel	12
And waive our gavels	13
Unless	14
We	15
Unite	16

Those poor horns	17
Or thorns	18
I miss them	19

So why'd we	20
Destroy them?	21
