Cannons, Wagons, and Guillotines (An AP World History Class inside joke)

Strapped to the cannons for rebelling
Flattened for your betrayal
Beheaded for being a tyrant king
The fates of history come together

Cannons, Wagons, Guillotines
These are the deaths we remember
Cannons, Wagons, Guillotines
Enjoying the fates of them all

Our memory will fail us
Looking into the recorded past
All except those
Whose legacy is soaked in violence

King beheaded
Indians exploded
Traitor run over
Justice served
Upon the eye of the beholder

History is a dark humor
Soaked in the blood of so many
Millions of souls
Millions of gallons
Shed all across the world
But these are the ones that come to mind

Cannons, Wagons, Guillotines
These are the deaths we remember
Cannons, Wagons, Guillotines
Enjoying the fates of them all

This world over time
Has been painted blood
For centuries
Billions have been slain

Blood flows across this land
The world is Satan’s bath
If the blood still remained
All would drown in it’s wake

Cannons!
Blowing holes, shattering to pieces
Wagons!
Crushing bones, snapping into organs
Guillotines!
Severing the heads of the tyrants!

Cannons, Wagons, Guillotines
These are the deaths we remember
Cannons, Wagons, Guillotines
Enjoying the fates of them all

Cannons!
Blowing holes, shattering to pieces
Wagons!
Crushing bones, snapping into organs
Guillotines!
Severing the heads of the tyrants!
