Machine Guns And Peacock Feathers

On the eve of the ninth Moon
The world's on fire
Michael and his angels
Versus the dragon
Icarus is falling
Tempting faith
Nothing to hold onto
Against the dying light

Carry the milk or pierce the body with
Swords, machine guns, flowers, and peacock feathers
Altered organ function
Computers, democracy, and nervous disorder

Swords and machine guns
Flowers and feathers
Altered organ function
Nervous disorder

It’s two minutes to midnight
In the garden of delight
And do androids dream
Of electric sheep?
Barrels are burning
Great art will be destroyed
The sleeping beauty
Of the wasteland
