The generals are born again, born again, born again

The generals are born again, they're going to save the world

Their armament is seeing right, doing right, being right

Their armour of righteousness is going to save the world



They're sending in the cavalry, cavalry, cavalry

The bugles and the banner-boys are waiting for the word

The captain is a blind man, blind man, blind man

A blind man is reaching for a terrible swift sword

Born again: the generals are born again to save the world



I'll never get to heaven no matter what I do

I'll never be a blue eyed boy although my eyes are blue

And I will not work and I will not work and I will not work for you



They'll put a stop to history, history, history

Cut through this confusion with the purity of steel

For time is just a can of worms, can of worms, can of worms

They'll blow away corruption when they break that seal

Born again: the generals are born again to save the world



A star is in the firmament, firmament, firmament

A new star in the firmament Wormwood is its name

Everyone will see the light, see the light, see the light

And though my eyes are shut I'll have to see it just the same



For peace to last a thousand years, thousand years, thousand years

Prophecy has struck a match and held it to the fuse

They're wheeling up the cameras, cameras, cameras

They're timing Armageddon for the evening news

Born again, the generals are born again to save the world
