When the banished return
From locked cages in hell
How will you greet them?
Eyes flashing, teeth gnashing
Who's gonna stand in their way?
This is the price of justice,
The fine print you didn't see,
The lost key
To the lock on your golden door.
When the banished return,
Their beggar hands twisted to claws
Who is gonna stand at the wall?
The leper will steal your bed.
The whore will capture your man.
The murderer will be your governor.
When the banished return,
An all-knowing, all-seeing fire,
Where will you put your faith then?
Millenniums you held them back
Now they're sacking Rome
Add up your prayers to meaningless
Post-Its on an empty throne.
When the banished return,
Her hot breath in your face,
Where can you turn when she's turning you on?
When your gilded towers burn,
And your choice is to jump or melt,
You'll know the angel whose wings
Were revoked,
And exactly how He felt.
