Recipe for Disaster

From the diamond dust ring
Fall a million blinding lights
The elders keep repeating
That we must be ready to fight
Defend the temple against the beasts at any price
Even the apprentice gave his life as sacrifice
Holy Mother, in your name we’re prepared for the worst
Holy Mother, give us the courage to fight the curse
From the shimmering vessels
Move angels of destruction
While we whisper the gospels
They strafe us into annihilation
Holy Mother, why have you abandoned your people
Can’t you see your gracious face on top of the steeple?
Holy Mother, is that you coming out of this star
Oh brothers despair, the lady is coming to war
(A perfidy, a trickery)
The boy throws himself into the light
(An unbearable deviancy)
And receives a mortal wound
(A sickening incarnation)
He stands embedded in pure white
(Aberration, desecration)
Falls and hits the ground
Fear
For there’s nothing to be done
The lady is awake
Pray
That the lady will condone
The sins we perpetrate
Fear
It’s too late to surrender
Mother is upon us
Pray
The torment will be over
The lady will slay us
