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
