In flight from the city, feel the earth moving round
We were all bloody hands when the temple came down
Made a ladder from a sunbearn, made a shroud from a cloud
We were kicking screaming streets when the temple came down
In flight from the city, turned around saw it drown
We were static skin and thunder clouds, around our crowns
Heard commands from an angel, drowned a plume from the sun
Carried on an anvil cloud when the temple came down
In the light of the mountain, and the shadow of the sun
We were gnashing teeth and fingernails soiled with blood
Saw the back of a prophet, saw the cradle of a town
All the brother’s tilted heads when the temple came down
In flight from the city, turned around saw it drown
We were static skin and thunder clouds, around our crowns
Heard commands from an angel, drowned a plume from the sun
Carried on an anvil cloud when the temple came down
Ooooh….. Oooooh……
Praise to the idiot, Hail to the coward x6
Praise to the idiot, Hail to the coward
Praise to the idiot, Hail to the coward
