We are our own cabal
We walk in black and our whips do crack,
Along the bright canal
We sing our songs by leafy ponds,
We are the black chorale
We put our writings on your glass
By way of our decal
We are the ones beyond your dreams,
We seek the femme fatale
We drive the world from deep below
A simple white locale
We read old books, we paint and cook,
We are Les Fleurs du Mal
We drink from coloured, painted bottles,
We drink the black Mescal
We work as best we ever can
To bring down your morale
We use all that we can to live,
We even use Pascal
We put your loved one on the cross
On the original Paschal
We adorn our clothes, adorn our hats
With the feathers of Quetzal
We will prevail you know we will,
We are Ersatzreal
We are the ones beyond your dreams,
We are Ersatzreal
