It was a portent of mourning that burnt umber sky
Like the stillness in falling before I and the ground collided
It was a sailor's warning with the mercury on the rise
No use to reef-in the sails, the storm comes and the anchors failed

God granted keys of favour to the larder of this land
From the Tigris to Euphrates down to the Persian sands
Gave dominion on the beasts, all natural riches in hand
We squandered all with tyranny a eulogy of man

Sobering slightly, the lustful light beguiled thee
Our shadows and the writing all a flicker on the wall

A lull in the chanting, the pyromaniac dancing
forfeited all to the flames of the forge

Though I will not bow to a Norman lord nor fall into place
40 long generations hence and still peasants tied in place
Ain't it funny now when you work out how now nothing seems to change
But the green fuse comes to blow you down the meek and proud the same

In this age of wonder a futurists lament
With the library of Alexandria Ignored in your pocket
Among the cries and warnings still your ticket must be check
Roll on trainwreck don't lose your seats the conducting man so said

Sobering slightly the lustful light beguiled thee
Our shadows and the writing all a flicker on the wall

A lull in the chanting, the pyromaniac dancing
forfeited all to the flames of the forge

What senile muttering deity led us to Mount Moriah?
Abraham take you son and throw him on the fire!
Such clarity such conviction this is what the good voice said
And faith in some clemency as we speed toward the edge

The credit-score and the learning a private school begot
While Gods of suburbia demand cream from the interest pot
Where the trinkets and comforts worth the sacking of the earth
And sacrificed poor Isaac just to feel at one with god

Sobering slightly the lustful light beguiled thee
Our shadows and the writing all a flicker on the wall

A lull in the chanting, the pyromaniac dancing
forfeited all to the flames of the forge

Sobering slightly the lustful light beguiled thee
Our shadows and the writing all a flicker on the wall

A lull in the chanting, the pyromaniac dancing
forfeited all to the flames of the forge
