[Verse]
D                  F                     D                F
How bright are the fires of thought in a chain of command?
D                 F                       D               F
How bright is the medical torch when it's put in our hand?

[Chorus]
A               F  A             F
My microbes and I, we can't wait to lay down and die
A                  F
We realize that we must be spent
          Em
Like the cells that dissolve when a brainwave is sent
D                  F                     D                 F
How bright are the fires of thought in a chain of command?

[Chorus]
A                   F  A             F
My blood group and me, a body of soldiers are we
A                   F
To the wound, we quickly flowed
        Em
And we fought 'em with the weapons in our chemical code
