Legs of a calf, head of a man
|
Eyes on the camera shaking everyone's hand
|
Vultures circle, and smack their lips
|
Sky goes black as the lightning rips
|
Stars are immune, moon without pity
|
As waves of blood roll over the city
|
It's not a rehearsal, or special effects
|
It's the end of the story, it's what happens next
|
|
And I say (and I say)
|
It's coming any second
|
And I say, and I say
|
In the blink of an eye
|
And I say (and I say)
|
With a bang and a whimper
|
And I say it's okay
|
if you never say goodbye
|
|
Song of a child, song of a beast
|
as it slouches and slithers
|
its way from the East
|
I dreamt a dream, but what could it mean
|
Angels in armor devoured by greed
|
All the people danced, tore at their clothes
|
the sky caught fire, and the oceans froze
|
It wasn't a fable; it wasn't a hoax
|
It was seventeen devils just making up jokes
|
|
(chorus)
|
|
I saw a chapel made of gold
|
The night was so blue and the air was so cold
|
Seraphim howled on a microphone
|
as the rats kept rhythm on chicken bones
|
|
People wept, swallowed their jewels
|
entered like soldiers, departed as fools
|
It isn't a sentence, it's not a reward
|
It's a black parachute with a noose for a cord
|
|
(chorus)
|
