Death No. 2

It came in the blinking of an eye From overhead where the birds do fly Time stopped long enough to cry An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind Fire poured out from the skies The rich folks ran to bunkers to hide To fight is assisted suicide To live is just to wait to die In the thunder of the guns that pound I heard mothers cry over babies sounds As screams escaped from duct taped mouths And all the winnings handed out Thunder followed the golden calf With the pale snake upon his back And hunted down the many poor fool Who tried to tame the brazen bull And the cloud that touched the sky Tried to eclipse the sun And the cloud that touched the sky Tried to eclipse the sun Lucifer walked the daughter down His bright red apple had since gone brown And upon the apple they did feast And declared who's hungry let them eat I came upon the lake of fire And for a boat I did inquire I saw melted faces of the king's old squires And I knew that the flame could still burn brighter Faceless men there worked to death Trying to climb up Dante's steps I tried to stop and catch my breath But all I could see was what was left And the cloud that took the sky Tried to eclipse the sun And the cloud that took the sky Tried to eclipse the sun
