Jericho's Trumpet Leads the Symphony of Angels
Apple of Basilisk
When I stare into the burning eyes of god, they will freeze
Every child born into a war torn hellscape
When their limbs become debris
When their mothers are shrieking
Will you tell me they have sinned?
That they never stood a chance?
When I smash the lock to heaven’s gates
Who will I see when I push them open?
They’ll be up there laughing
As tears fill the ocean
The men who carry the keys out of reach
The men with the diamonds in their eyes
The men who hold your hand until it turns blue
Will I see them with little wings on their backs?
Job was so naive
No matter what he did, they would have dropped like flies - for an ego
The serpent whispered in your ear
You bite the apple - You chew the flesh
Watching the flames of burning eden
light up the sky
When they try to hide what they’ve done
You still see the faces beneath the tar
He carried the cross and wore the thorns
So you can bring your gun into the booth
Jericho’s trumpet deafens all
Shake the bloody hand of Christ
For letting the light shine down
On your napalm playground
Their skeletons glisten in the moonlight
There is no limit to man’s malice
The extent of horrors in this world
How could hell be any worse?
When angels look down on the earth
They’ll cut their throats
