|
The heavens open, and bloody rain does fall |
|
On the good and the bad, on the rich and the poor |
|
Insane laughter splits the heavens |
|
Spits on the prayers of the masses |
|
Is God in his heaven, is all right with the world? |
|
Is God in his heaven, wrapped in a shroud? |
|
See the dove fall, beneath the eagle's claw |
|
Obeys the one law, of tooth and claw |
|
The law of the strong: this is our law |
|
And the joy of the world |
|
Up to the heavens, an eagle soared |
|
To meet with the sun |
|
And where love is the call |
|
Up to the heavens, an eagle soared |
|
To talk with the sun |
|
And where blood is the law |
|
With shield and sword |
|
And tooth and claw |
|
The law of the strong |
|
And the joy of the world |
