[intro] Dancing in a field of mushroom clouds Our flesh burns away so God laughs out loud As our blood ignites, release is found Reduced to ashes falling to the ground [verse] Impale ourselves to please the Lord Ashes to ashes of our own accord Now dust to dust is our reward Cuz this is what happens when gods are bored [chorus] Angels circle in the sky like vultures Awaiting sacred orders to die When their master descends from on high • Children marching like little soldiers Preparing for holy genocide Wicked eyes beaming with Christian pride [post-chorus] Dying in a field of mushroom clouds Eruptions of molten death purge the crowd Legions of angels come to descend Signaling the beginning of the end [verse] Where does our salvation reside And where can the sinners even survive? When pearly gates have opened wide But your savior keeps hitmen just inside [chorus] Angels circle in the sky like vultures Awaiting sacred orders to die When their master descends from on high • Children marching like little soldiers Preparing for holy genocide Wicked eyes beaming with Christian pride [post-chorus] Dreaming in a field of mushroom clouds But God says freethinking is not allowed When angels come brandishing swords We’ll fall onto our knees and praise the Lord [hook] We pray for death and hope to die Raising our manacles up to the sky The ending of man has begun With but one last glimpse of our dying sun [bridge] As the ending is nearing Holy temples are cheering And angels whet their fiery swords They are so eager to fight And through the darkness of night Righteous assassins praise the Lord [interlude: operatic industrial] [hook] The ending has begun The ending has begun The ending has begun Now [chorus] Angels circle in the sky like vultures Awaiting sacred orders to die When their master descends from on high • Children marching like little soldiers Preparing for holy genocide Wicked eyes beaming with Christian pride [outro: whispered vocals] All we can do now is surrender All we can hope now is to remember Nursery rhymes… for the end times All we can do now is surrender All we can hope now is to remember Nursery rhymes… for the end times
