[Chorus]
Tell me, whose flesh is weak?
Tell me, who's will's of iron?
Tell me, who can count the stars
The stars of Orion?

Tell me, who stood in the streets
At the end of that bloody day?
Tell me, who stands there still?
Tell me, who's washed away?

[Verse 1]
Shooting stars and cauldrons boil
Fishing hooks and Standard Oil
Pythons flex and tighten coils
Defecting troops who once were loyal

[Verse 2]
Supplicants and White House liars
Thinning ice and balding tires
Silver spoons and chicken pox
At midnight, we turn back the clocks

[Chorus x2]
Tell me, whose flesh is weak?
Tell me, who's will's of iron?
Tell me, who can count the stars
The stars of Orion?
Tell me, who stood in the streets
At the end of that bloody day?
Tell me, who stands there still?
Tell me, who was washed away?

[Outro]
Tell me, whose flesh is weak?
Tell me, who's will's of iron?
