Lyrics for Chain Of Command

How bright are the fires of thought In a chain of command? (Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh) How bright is the medical torch When it's put in our hand? (Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh) My microbes and I We can't wait to lay down and die We realize 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? Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh How bright are the fires of thought In a chain of command? (Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh) How bright is the medical torch When it's put in our hand? (Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh) My blood group 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? Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh My microbes and I We can't wait to lay down and die We realize 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? Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh Chain of command, chain of command (Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh) Chain of command, chain of command (Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh) Chain of command, chain of command (Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh) Chain of command, chain of command (Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh) Chain of command, chain of command (Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh) Chain of command, chain of command (Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh) Chain of command, chain of command (Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
