Holy Mother hear me now! The High Priestess sits jaded on sapphire throne wreath'd in laurel purities, Blessing the sinners one by one as they line up grovelling down the block, Shivering for acceptance, the emaciated children of a future abandoned and thrown to the wolves, In reverence, she watches the nations burn! The prisons burn! The churches burn! The balance bleeds the light of dawn into the sidewalk cracks and tinted apothecary windows, While the other end of the spectrum weeps blackest night into the open casket funerals of the unjustifiable crimes committed in the name of PEACE The Almighty PEACE PEACE in the Highest PEACE at all costs The High Priestess rains down PEACE from her bomb shelter throne You may not understand it now But this is for your own good

II. The High Priestess
Holy Mother hear me now! The High Priestess sits jaded on sapphire throne wreath'd in laurel purities, Blessing the sinners one by one as they line up grovelling down the block, Shivering for acceptance, the emaciated children of a future abandoned and thrown to the wolves, In reverence, she watches the nations burn! The prisons burn! The churches burn! The balance bleeds the light of dawn into the sidewalk cracks and tinted apothecary windows, While the other end of the spectrum weeps blackest night into the open casket funerals of the unjustifiable crimes committed in the name of PEACE The Almighty PEACE PEACE in the Highest PEACE at all costs The High Priestess rains down PEACE from her bomb shelter throne You may not understand it now But this is for your own good
