lyrics

The streetlamps suddenly start blinking - all at once.
A muffled rumble rolls below the surface,
And heads of anxious passers-by have turned.

Then comes a bright flash in the distance, and a sound
As if somebody kicks the tinplate sheet.
The startled people 'round me start running.

Another wham; and then a foul cacophony
Is surging, taking over gloomy streets,
As sounds of gun bursts leave no room for doubt.

Then comes a deaf'ning screech from loudspeakers,
And a reedy voice starts shouting and screaming;
Of all his slurring I've discerned too little,

Just "Here we are!" and "Kill!"

They come! The blank-eye broods are all upon our waning world!
They come! By false philosophers unleashed, to feast on gore.
For long they fed and multiplied on myths and rot,
Yet to reveal themselves they dared not.

But now they are here to requite for all those "eons"
They'd been "oppressed" into remaining human beings.
They come with vengeance, come to burn and slay.
The Sun is dead. God looks some other way.

Marauding hordes have swept throughout the city,
Followed by perfect columns of stormtroopers marching:
Black banners with gold arrows in the middle.

And there is only one voice keeps on screeching:
The slurring shout'r dominates the roar and blare,
Delivering to the troops his twisted preachings -

And sending them upon a killing spree.

They come! The faceless broods are all upon our waning world!
They come! By false philosophers unleashed, to feast on gore.
For long they fed and multiplied on myths and rot,
Yet to reveal themselves they dared not.

But now they are here to requite for all those "eons"
They'd been "oppressed" into remaining human beings.
They come with vengeance, come to burn and slay.
The Sun is dead. God looks some other way.

I ran across the backyards and back-alleys,
Barely evading them, but when I reached my place
I only saw the towering wall of flames
With everyone I'd cared about beyond my aid.

And two black troopers with familiar faces
Emerged out of nowhere. Their malicious smiles
Made their intent too clear... But when they
Both racked their slides, a flaming timber fell down
Separating us. And then I turned away and fled.
