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...
