Apocalypse 1969

The calendar year 1969
Promises you, oh boy
You won't be so down as today
In a cocoon all right in a raid
A delicate child sits awaiting for evolution

Oh, say can you see the dying candle
Casting shadows on Cassandra
Where she lies?
Shining in reflection like the flame of burning vision
In the darkness of her eyes

You say the ending begins
Baltimore burns
Safe from the sound
Of her warning
You can fly

The Babylon Queen has no way to lose
Flashing a smile, oh boy
They say she's cozy with the judges
Winning the hearts from Buffalo Springs to Wichita Falls
Stop and read it in Revelations

See the frightened fingers tearing
Crimson streaks of terror on Cassandra
Where she cries
Shattering the surface of the darkened pool of silence
In the dungeon where she lies

You say Babylon wins
(No, no, no, no, no, no)
Darkness returns
(No, no, no, no, no, no)
And Bethlehem's child
He dies a pony
