These are the lyrics to a new song by a local band. I shall post a link to the sound file later.
Can you get all the references to religious atrocities:

Smokin' Over Texas

They say they’re kind
My wide eyed child
But they tell you lies
And they hurt your mind

Smokin' over Texas
David has a gun
Charisma and Cyanide
Jonesy's having fun

Fear the lantern leading
Torquemada to her door
He's with the cruel physician
They know the law

They gathered at Kanungu
To restore the Decalogue
Then took the breath of hundreds
Now they're gone.

Cleansing their transgressions
For Arabell's conceit
Children from their mothers
On Leeson Street

Dedications testify
No less than slavery
Mary is their epitaph
Glasnevin Cemetery

Acting in accordance
But the prelate will deny
Drive out the brood of vipers
As assigned
