[Verse 1]
---
---

A war against Heaven
Heaven
Heaven

[Pre-Chorus #1]
"He who is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he who is filthy, let him be filthy still."

[Chorus]
Once again, a rough beast slouches towards its birth
Living in New Bethlehem
Will the hour come?

[Verse 2]
---
---

A war against Heaven
Heaven
Heaven
[Pre-Chorus #2]
"He who is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he who is holy, let him be holy still."

[Chorus]
Once again, a rough beast slouches towards its birth
Living in New Bethlehem
Will the hour come?

Mass death futures

[Bridge]
I am alpha and omega
Beginning and the end
The first and the last
Blessed be the warmakers

[Chorus]
Once again, a rough beast slouches towards its birth
Living in New Bethlehem
Will the hour come?
