Paroles
A vulture sits perched on the bones of the dead The sky and the earth are smoldering red The tree that drank life from the chest of the soil Clutches in vain to a limp pool of oil The midgets are running their horns are on fire The women are screaming and clutching the wire The tears of the flesh on the hands of the rich Who plead with the guard for relief from the itch But in heaven they are not itching Their front teeth are ground with a stone of a lie Spit blood on the hands of those who ask why A wheeze from a throat that's scorched till it’s black From tendons that break on the hooks of the rack The four million faces that just keep movin' on The soles of their feet are worn to the bone The skins of the thirsty hang limp from dead trees And no ear is turned to the rasp of their pleas But in heaven they are not thirsty Bodies are piled in the pits of the damned Gasping for air as they're buried in sand A thick blistered tongue licks out at a tear That oozes in vain from an eye filled with fear The dogs are eating the flesh that is torn From the face of the nameless who forgot to be born And pull out their fingernails and swing by their hair Naked and scorched in the thick sulfur air But in heaven they are not suffering Over the river of death no return From then through eternity bodies will burn The oars of the fairy out of their locks The worms and the roaches crawl over the rocks The ants and the locusts swarm down the meat That stinks on the bones that outline defeat The face of the clock melts down on the pools Destroying all hope for all of the fools But there are no fools in heaven
