Molesting The Dead

All life is exploited

And in death there is no relief

The unbearable mourning will never cease

When they dangle your loved ones just out of reach

Tugging on heart strings

Ambition's embraced and principles shed

Opportunism rears it's ugly head

While the partisan cause recruits three thousand dead

Molesting the dead to advance an agenda

Molesting the dead capitalizing from pain

Molesting the dead morality is forfeit

Molesting the dead for political gain

The grave robbers enter

Clutching their shovels and courting the slain

They're digging up more than the past and its pain

To present a parade of corpses for an election campaign

For an ethical overhaul

They've summoned the dead to answer their call

For those who champion abstinence

They sure are committed to screwing us all

Molesting the dead to advance an agenda

Molesting the dead capitalizing from pain

Molesting the dead morality is forfeit

Molesting the dead for political gain

They preach family values

So they've exhumed the bodies for a family reunion

This morbid seduction for party inclusion

Where the murdered can still serve a political function

To forever live on as martyrs for nationalism

So politicians can cry crocodile tears

To enact their policies by feeding our fears

And continue to justify their actions for years

Molesting the dead to advance an agenda

Molesting the dead capitalizing from pain

Molesting the dead morality is forfeit

Molesting the dead for political gain
