And I will close the gates of paradise
To no longer accept the dead
That chiron smile and give up the host
And the blind to see again.
Gabriel with the fire, I sent you
like Prometheus to raise up men
and St. Michael with the flaming sword, I send you
To bring them low again.
What wonders, what horrors, should consume the earth.
I do not wish to know. I have closed up the tabernacle doors
And withdrawn the holy ghost.
Like swine, to cast out the demons
from the body, and no longer bear
the prayers of a sin-eaten world
like termites who raise their towers
babel, to the most high
and demand blood from a stone.
I will close the gates of paradise
And reign here, in heaven, alone.
High above the carnage,
were angels like birds of prey
Revel in that final judgement
On that terrible day.
And I will close the gates of paradise
To no longer accept the dead
That chiron smile and give up the host
And the blind to see again.
Gabriel with the fire, I sent you
like Prometheus to raise up men
and St. Michael with the flaming sword, I send you
To bring them low again.
What wonders, what horrors, should consume the earth.
I do not wish to know. I have closed up the tabernacle doors
And withdrawn the holy ghost.
Like swine, to cast out the demons
from the body, and no longer bear
the prayers of a sin-eaten world
like termites who raise their towers
babel, to the most high
and demand blood from a stone.
I will close the gates of paradise
And reign here, in heaven, alone.
High above the carnage,
were angels like birds of prey
Revel in that final judgement
On that terrible day.
