 Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!

Paling well after sixteen days, a mammoth task was set 
Sack the town, and rob the tower, and steal the alphabet 
Close the door and bar the gate, but keep the windows clean 
God's alive inside a movie! Watch the silver screen! 

Rum was served to all the traitors; pygmies held themselves in check 
Bloodhounds nosed around the houses, down dark alleys sailors crept 
Six bells struck, the pot was boiling - soup spilled out on passers-by 
Angels mumbled incantations, closely watched by God on high 

Lightning struck out - fire and brimstone! Boiling oil and shrieking steam! 
Darkness struck with molten fury, flashbulbs glorified the scene 
Not a man who had a finger, not a man who could be seen 
Nothing called (not name nor number) - Echo stormed its final scream 

Daybreak washed with sands of gladness, rotting all it rotted clean 
Windows peeped out on their neighbors, inside fireside bedsides gleam 
SHALIMAR, the trumpets chorused, angels wholly all shall take 
Those alive will meet the prophets, those at peace shall see their wake
