When Another Midnight

When another midnight comes to rest

On the cheek of our sleeplessness

All the crusaders will wake and dress

Pull their flags from their pillowcases

You could hear all of Eden hold its breath

On this the anniversary of wonder’s death

Unholy occasion what a terrible mess

Oh it's time for a new dress

How to live a noble life

In this the age of insanity

When every prophet's face is turning white

It’s the look, the look of

"Can it be?"

It’s shock, it’s horror, it’s despair!

It’s Socrates weeping in a wheelchair

Teacher drooling, unaware

"Where are my students where, oh where?"

Poet to poet, nun to nun

I’ve met a distance that I have to run

No matter what madness must come undone

I’m throwing down a smoking gun

All the commuters will hear our words

And hide in garages like frightened birds but

You can’t stop the moaning of the Earth

And the midnight crackling of my nerves!

Come out, come out! Angels of love

It's just the sound of another midnight falling

Come out come out

It's not the end of the world

It's just the sound of another midnight falling

Come out come out! The time is now!
