Sic Transit Gloria Mundi
White smoke billows From the Sistine 77 votes to the city And the world The great unwashed The ones no one see Slipping through the cracks The keys of the kingdom The suffering church The art of war Industrial society And its future Mirror mirror on the wall Who is there In the room of tears? Year 1666 St. Paul's Cathedral burns In the Great Fire of London 7th of July 2005 A series of bomb attacks From King's Cross To Russell Square A passenger flight Disappears in the night And I will never forget Our 77 young Soft targets moving Through endless summer Across the land And the water Mirror mirror on the wall Who is there In the room of tears?

The rainbow is empty And lights hangs low There is a private eye In the centre of it all Driving down Sunset Blvd Looking, looking for the song The Starman has gone And the late great Leonard Cohen too There are thieves in the temple Pretenders from thrones underground And who really cares anymore We all chase the wind Give up your ghosts Bring out your dead The Church of Jesus Christ And Latter-Day Saints Bright young Americans There is one on every corner The holy books are open wide Brother, the future is murder Dead birds fall from the sky Black jackals crawling Give up your ghosts Bring out your dead
