She Said Destroy

Into that darkness
 Into that darkness
 Like jackals howling
 Like flowers unfolding
 Into that darkness
 Into that darkness
 The banners in tatters
 The virgin is blessed
 Into that darkness
 Into that darkness
 As if seeking there
 Hope's bloody prey
 The dead dog sinking
 Turning and turning
 Into that darkness
 Into that darkness
 The bodies collapsed
 Swollen with gas
 Into that darkness
 Into that darkness
 In the hovels and gutters
 Her face to the storm
 Into that darkness
 Into that darkness
 Still broken, still bleeding
 The crack of the neck
 The gut shriek of thunder
 The blood call of lightning
 She said destroy in black New York...
 Into that darkness
 Into that darkness
 Like jackals howling
 Like flowes unfolding
 Into that darkness
 Into that darkness
 The virgin has blessed
 The call of the beast
 Into that darkness
 Into that darkness
 As if seeking there
 Hope's bloody prey
 The dead dog sinking
 Turning and turning
 She said destroy in black New York...
