On the Gallows

Enter the dead grey winter wasteland
A site of desolation
Amidst watchtowers and barbed wire
The place of uncreation
Where is your God
God’s marching to the gallows
Empty, lifeless eyes
Await the new tomorrow
Where is your God?
God’s dancing on the gallows
Triumph bestial screams
Herald the new tomorrow
Where is your God?
God hangs dead on the gallows
An age of reason? An age of despair?
What will bring the new… tomorrow?
Here, the spirit of God is expired
The genesis of Eden’s inversion
Here, the beast nature of man is revealed
In this place of godless perversion
As icy winds cut the flesh to the bone
Of human sheep gathered — close to death
guards in black put the gallow’s noose
tight around the young child’s neck
(repeat refrain)
Too light the body
Too short the drop
A dance of death
That just won’t stop
No severance of the cervical section
Finally, no motion — death erection
The ancient order we have overcome
Wir Mörder aller Mörder
Forever sentenced to freedom and void
In winter’s desolation
(repeat refrain)
