Into that darkness
 Into that darkness
 Like jackals howling
 Like flowers unfolding

Into that darkness
 Into that darkness
 The banners in tatters
 The virgin is blessed
 Into that darkness
 Into that darkness
 As if seeking there
 Hope's bloody prey
 The dead dog sinking
 turning and turning

Into that darkness
 Into that darkness
 The bodies collapsed
 Swollen with gas

Into that darkness
 Into that darkness
 In the hovels and gutters
 Her face to the storm

Into that darkness
 Into that darkness
 Still broken, still bleeding
 The crack of the neck
 The gut shriek of thunder
 The blood call of lightning

She said destroy in black New York...

Into that darkness
 Into that darkness
 Like jackals howling
 Like flowers unfolding

Into that darkness
 Into that darkness
 The virgin has blessed
 The call of the beast

Into that darkness
 Into that darkness
 As if seeking there
 Hope's bloody prey
 The dead dog sinking
 turning and turning

She said destroy in black New York...
