21st Century Lullaby

We took our seats
Ahead of the show
Confections and treats
All ready to go
It was a grand ole' sight
Parted curtains of white
A mesmeric scene
Projected on the screen
A proud man driven
In a black Cadillac
Cars at the front door
Cops at the back
He smiled with a wave
Of his generous hand
Thunder shook
Across the land
His head nodded forward
Then violently back
Crackend crack
Upon crackend crack
A crimson dream
Escaped from his scull
We all fell silent
We all felt numb
Curtain closed
The usher spake
No need for alarm
You shan't come to harm
He sprinkled his sleeping dust
Across our eyes
Fateful lullaby was our prize
Was our prize
Was our prize
Was our prize
While we were sleeping
It grew and grew
Tendrils creeping through and through
The blackness spreading
Here and there
Still we kept on sleeping
Without a care
Without a care
Without a care
Without a care
Twas a fresh bright day in Apple town
Towers of gray
Stood in the sun
A bolt struck fast from Jerusalem
Buildings shook, crumbled like ruins
A Rubicon of blood
Wormed its way
Throughout the night
Throughout the day
The town crier howled
It was the hordes
Heathen whores
Allah's Lords
Twas not polite
To disbelieve
Though something shook
Up his sleeve
The magician waits
Was a brilliant show
Now eyes are heavy
It's time to go.
Time to go.
Time to go.
Time to go.
While we were sleeping
It grew and grew
Tendrils creeping through and through
The blackness spreading
Here and there
Still we kept on sleeping
Without a care
Without a care
Without a care
Without a care
Without a care
Without a care
Without a care
Without a care
Without a care
Without a care
Without a care
Without a care
Without a care
