Diphtheria Ending Ceremony
Here come the dead
All bleeding red
This one's been choked
The other shot in the head
Here come the flies
Children with no eyes
They hold each other's hands and dance
A jig of world demise
Chorus:
Hand in hand
They march on down the altar
Heart in hand
They stand before the father
In the Ceremony of the End
Here come the numb
The weakened and the dumb
They turn a curtained eye on
What we have become
Here come the blind
The sick and out of mind
The only happy people
In all of human kind
Rep. Chorus
All have gathered here
The trumpets of Damnation blow
The actors take their place
It's time to get on with the show
The sun he bows and goes
Night descends upon the hall
They're standing in the isles
Waiting for the curtain call
Take your place next to me
Below this last of all the skies
We'll hold each other close
And laugh like hell as the world dies
Later come the wise
Who'd brought on their demise
By severing the bars of
the birdcage of their lies
And then come you and I
Who gave meaning to the lie
By seeking refuge from the storm
In a feeling doomed to die
Rep. Chorus
