lyrics

Sâr
Marx

Ideology shaped a Stalinist warped ego
French colonial rule, justifying credo
Millions perished as fuel, ablaze in the pyre's revolt-the Marxist assault
Cambodia scorned, Bolshevist leader adorned

The Khamer Rouge, terrors striking from the jungle
Depredation as the city defense crumbled

Schooled in the west by Leninist creed
Making his countrymen bleed
He would not rest, Ho Chi Minh's behest
To transplant the revolution's seed
Power obsessed, dissension suppressed
Viciously lashing at rivals
Pol-Pot the cruel, a communist tool
Industry the new pariah
Peasantry his lone messiah
Capital thrown to the fire of reform

Saloth reborn
Pol-Pot took form

Phnom Penh taken by storm, by defilers in the night
Akin to viral blight, succumbing to the swarm
Forced out citizens, beaten till they all conform
Cast out denizens, education uniform

Toil in fields their lot, through battery they're taught, an existence fraught
Stolen property, subject to mockery, abject poverty, slavery

Quotas meeting yields
In the killing fields
Murdered by the guards
Bankrupt house of cards
Growing paranoia, executions commonplace
Loyalty requisite, peasants shot in the face

Rampant ceaseless death
Nation struggling for breath, the hopeless and doomed
Border power vacuum
Vietnam land-grab resumed, allies war consumed
Pol-pot ousted by foes he headed up north

The Khamer Rouge, terrors striking from the jungle
For twenty years as their forces slowly crumbled
Guerrilla war, their diminished army stumbled
Socialism run-amok failing in all but murder
