Romulus has come to America 
to steal sword of Spartacus from his tomb 
and lead wild men who spring from dragon teeth 
in holy war against tyrant of gold 
since Midas has allied with Hannibal 
to beat heads of upstarts with Bible clubs. 

When Jason and the rowdy Argonauts 
invade vast cities of America 
to kidnap Alice lost in Wonderland, 
brave Romulus stands before the locked gate 
to face cruel Goliath in civil war 
when he shoots David in back of the head. 

If laughing Grendel breaks down jeweled gates 
to drag the Weeping Woman from her church, 
bloodstained Medea rises from her grave 
to hurl head of Odysseus at Apollo 
who asks brooding Hamlet for good advice 
on how to fight for Liberty and Truth. 

Since Jupiter asks Artemis for help 
to fight invasion of the Viking horde, 
who swarm in rage from sea to shining sea, 
she leads protests with the bloody flag 
to drive Grendel and Goliath from Heaven 
and stop them arresting innocent Elves. 

Since Nobody knows who is right or wrong, 
or what side anyone else should be on, 
we shout at each other in crowded streets 
while Grendel and Goliath in black duds 
beat Jason and Apollo on the head 
for opposing Midas in the Gold House. 

Dragging innocent citizens from cars, 
and locking them in secret prison camps, 
Grendel and Goliath, with guns of faith, 
declare they will arrest those who dare 
obstruct justice in name of Liberty, 
and detain people who are the wrong sort. 

Alone in homes across Zarathia, 
good people of America conspire 
to oppose Midas and his gang of thugs 
lead by Grendel and Goliath in crusade 
to cleanse undesirables from the land 
with hammer of Thor in their bloody hands. 

Assembling people of America, 
Romulus with Excalibur in hand 
welcomes Arthur to Land of the Free 
who takes hand of Artemis with new hope 
and leads us to oppose cruel tyranny 
till we free Eden from the gang of thieves.
