The Serbian Ethnic Cleansing Song

Let the firebrand awake!
Call on demon, duck and drake!
There’s no time to rape and pillage
As we charcoal every village,
But still we’ll slaughter like Stallone,
Till these ashes are our own.

clue:

A drake, in the sense intended here, is a dragon. Shakespeare taught me how to make so many puns.

The line “there’s no time to rape and pillage” is of course false.

give me a clue so sweet and true
