Diphtheria Ending Ceremony Lyrics

Ending Ceremony Lyrics

Here come the dead 

All bleeding red 

This one's been choked 

The other shot in the head 



Here come the flies 

Children with no eyes 

They hold each other's hands and dance 

A jig of world demise 



Chorus: 

Hand in hand 

They march on down the altar 

Heart in hand 

They stand before the father 

In the Ceremony of the End 



Here come the numb 

The weakened and the dumb 

They turn a curtained eye on 

What we have become 



Here come the blind 

The sick and out of mind 

The only happy people 

In all of human kind 



Rep. Chorus 



All have gathered here 

The trumpets of Damnation blow 

The actors take their place 

It's time to get on with the show 



The sun he bows and goes 

Night descends upon the hall 

They're standing in the isles 

Waiting for the curtain call 



Take your place next to me 

Below this last of all the skies 

We'll hold each other close 

And laugh like hell as the world dies 



Later come the wise 

Who'd brought on their demise 

By severing the bars of 

the birdcage of their lies 



And then come you and I 

Who gave meaning to the lie 

By seeking refuge from the storm 

In a feeling doomed to die 



Rep. Chorus
