Death and destruction
Raining down
On this and that
Big and small town
Rivers of fire
Furiously coursing through 
The Grand Apple's jaded canyon hearts
The illusion is fully ablaze
Here are a few more pimples
There, a few more wizened exotic warts
Tell humanity
Extinction
Is hereditary
A precipitous duplicity
Astronomical vessels
From near and afar
Perdition in heaven
Dragons at war

Let them come and try
The scales in their white and decorated sails
Let them come here and die
In your godforsaken skies
Betwixt the shadows of so many 
Ancient and deliberate cosmic lies
The cold-blooded
Dancing in their intergalactic trains 
There won't be a space on this damned earth
Safe from these cosmic rains

Tell humanity
Extinction
Is hereditary
Him and his precipitous duplicity
Astronomical vessels
From near and far
Perdition in heaven
There are Dragons at war

What is that? 
Contaminating the Anglo-Gallic mud
Darkness, camera, frenzy
It's looking a lot like conspiratorial blood
In the fragments of a tower
Quickly felled
Once so tall, it can go no lower
Romance is fetal on a plain
Feelin the pangs of an invisible blow
There's the blonde, tripping in a Rush
Scented with a Musk
The know-it-alls don't seem to know

Look! 
Isn't that the Fu Man, smiling yellow?
Frowning on his no longer great wall
That pompous mustachioed fellow
Mourning his lucky ancestral face
Behold…
Pawn Ben, kneed, taking dictation  
Communion hemorrhaging its holy grace
A matter of time
End of the rope a dope 
Payment in spades for many a forgotten crime

So tell humanity
And the rest of them
Extinction
Is hereditary
A precipitous duplicity
Vessels
Astronomical
Conical 
Spherical
Etc, etc, etc...
From near and far
Perdition in heaven
There'll be Dragons at war

The Blue and Green
Losing its greenhouse luster
And it's jaundiced spar 
In shades of a marred Red
Dragons at war

Above and below ground
I want to be there
When Babylon is flowing down
