Thunder rolls in dulcet tones
Mount Herzl cemetery, with flag-draped coffins full
And when their war was lost, the smell was clean and sweet
Where at last the flowers bloomed along the road to Galilee
Where sun birds will fly
Where before fire filled the sky
Old guards will die
With nobody around to say goodbye
I'm not hedging bets on the afterlife
I'm not breaking bread with the civilized
It's already gone, it's already over and it's done
Its ink dried upon the setting sun
So grab your coat as we're ushered out the door
Speak your piece to the ether on the cold walk home
Post-script and shuffled on, dwindling halcyon
Decorative ends and odds, a living epilogue
I am an emblem of an era out of time
I never bothered once to try to stem the tide
The excesses and petty vice
The last things left to sacrifice
I'm not hedging bets on the afterlife
I'm not breaking bread with the civilized
It's already gone, it's already over and it's done
Its ink dried upon the setting sun
I'm not losing sleep over the terrorized
I'm not shedding tears for the parasites
What's done, it is done
We are living in the fallout, everyone
With no quarter in the world to come
