I will Return

And the city stood

In a glowing splendor

'Til her ashes were laid in an urn

Beneath a fast food counter

I will return

The descendants were born

And they danced their dances

Then the sound of their stumbling was great

Tilting the world on it's axis

I will return

And the women gazed in their mirrors

Suitors brought them vials of perfume(Quiet lives of desperation)

Then golden-haired locusts with the faces of angels

Sealed each of them up in a metal cocoon

And the life ran out

Just when it all seemed better

Here is a display in a granite museum

A shame on view forever

I will return, I will return

And the birdcage was eventually opened

A great flock of nuns flew away (Meeting no one's expectations)

And the saints who had slept on a head of a pin

Came down from the sky at the end of all days

And the city stood

In a glowing splendor

'Til her ashes were laid in an urn

Beneath a fast food counter

I will return (I will be coming like a thief in the night)

I will return (I will be coming like a thief in the night)...
