With apologies to G. K. Chesterton and Iron Maiden:

Oh, God of Earth and Altar, bow down and hear our cry
Our earthly rulers falter, our people drift and die
The walls of gold entomb us, the swords of scorn divide
Take not thy thunder from us, take away our orgulousness

[left that other site]

I hung out with Nicko. He was not orgulous at all, but a really nice guy!
