Lucifer Over London

[Verse 1]
The twisted wings and clouds unfold and the great gape of He who fell
Makes darkened shadows over pointed spires
Little children point and sing and little children run and dance
Over there the setting sun, over there the setting sun

[Refrain]
Lucifer over London (Lucifer over London)
Lucifer over London (Lucifer over London)

[Verse 2]
And under that the silent stars and under they the weeping sky
And under Her the laughing world, balance sits
In Western parts, and piles spare Spares
In his gabled room

[Refrain]
Lucifer over London (Lucifer over London)
Lucifer over London (Lucifer over London)

[Verse 3]
Great Anarch and Monarch of Not
The Flight of Lucifer over London
And my little grandson, wrinkled son forehead
All tiny blue pain, the Mother Blood emerges
Then the Mother Grief and the Blue Gates of Death
Open arm-wide, open teeth-wide

[Refrain]
Lucifer over London (Lucifer over London)
Lucifer over London (Lucifer over London)

[Verse 4]
All dead like the leaves, old times shiver
Old dead calendar, past
Blurred sunsets, cinders flying
In His heart, His heart, His fingers
Punch holes in the sky
And all the little Christs I count

[Refrain]
Lucifer over London (Lucifer over London)
Lucifer over London (Lucifer over London)
Lucifer over London (Lucifer over London)
Lucifer over London (Lucifer over London)

[Verse 5]
All the little Christs I call
Are laughing through the green green fields
Some of those angels have the face of God
And some of them, the face of dogs

[Refrain]
Lucifer over London (Lucifer over London)
Lucifer over London (Lucifer over London)

[Verse 6]
By the Tower of Moab (Lucifer over London)
See the sky's Greenangel form (Lucifer over London)
And Lucifer flickers all around me (Lucifer over London)
His hooded eyes alight (Lucifer over London)

[Refrain]
Lucifer over London (Lucifer over London)
Lucifer over London (Lucifer over London)

[Verse 7]
In the smoky musk (Lucifer over London)
Look into Him just a little longer (Lucifer over London)
See the true face of the Moon (Lucifer over London)
So He wheels there through the heavens (Lucifer over London)
His eyes are dotted bright lights (Lucifer over London)
Licked with dust (Lucifer over London)

[Refrain]
Lucifer over London (Lucifer over London)
Lucifer over London (Lucifer over London)

[Verse 8]
A golden seabird (Lucifer over London)
Half-dead with spray (Lucifer over London)
His banners broken flags in the wind (Lucifer over London)
Devouring life (Lucifer over London)
He breaks at walls (Lucifer over London)
Lucifer over London (Lucifer over London)

[Refrain]
Lucifer over London (Lucifer over London)
Devouring life (Lucifer over London)

[Verse 9]
The glint of dead fruits glint (Lucifer over London)
And then the Moon, and then the Moon (Lucifer over London)
And then the Moon
(Lucifer over London...)

[Outro]
And six-six-six, it makes us sick
We're sick, sick, sick of six-six-six
Six-six-six, it makes us sick
We're sick, sick, sick of six-six-six
Six-six-six, it makes us sick
We're sick, sick, sick of six-six-six
Six-six-six, it makes us sick
We're sick, sick, sick of six-six-six
Six-six-six, it makes us sick
We're sick, sick, sick of six-six-six
Six-six-six, it makes us sick
We're sick, sick, sick of six-six-six
Six-six-six, it makes me sick
We're sick, sick, sick of six-six-six
Six-six-six, it makes us sick
We're sick, sick, sick of six-six-six
Six-six-six, it makes us sick
We're sick, sick, sick of six-six-six
Six-six-six, it makes us sick
We're sick, sick, sick of six-six-six
Six-six-six, it makes us sick
We're sick, sick, sick of six-six-six
Six-six-six, it makes us sick
We're sick, sick, sick of six-six-six
