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
She said destroy in black New York
She said destroy in black New York
She said destroy in black
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
