lyrics

Seven seals are decreed until the final blizzard, but I was
Looking the other way when the bombshell hit us
The trees were felled and the buildings were scissored

So we ran like hell for the hills while the bell ringers rang their bells
The avalanches fell and covered all the fields
The city was rubble and the babies all squealed

And the stars fell down from the sky like the last handful of a dead man’s pills
Reflected in his widow’s eyes
From a distance we watched the city die

Her eyes were filled and the weeping began, “let me not be stilled” she said
“Let me cry. Let my tears be endless.
Don’t try to pacify me with television drink and anti-depressants.”

For seventy years, most of us were slaves to our killers and oppressors
Some of us ran away to die in the desert
Some of us stayed and became homeless crazies

Somebody rolled me over in the middle of a hangover and said to me
“Wake up drinker! Your bottle is empty
And all the off-licences have been ram raided”

Those days hit me like a cancer or like a terrible car accident
We thought we were safe, and we weren’t
We thought we were rich, and we were, but now that means nothing

So go tell your children and all your children’s children, so they can tell their children
Write it in a book and send it to the four corners of the earth
So even the goyim can read about Him
