Rose Clouds of Holocaust

Rose clouds of holocaust

Rose clouds of flies

Rose clouds of bitter

Bitter, bitter lies

And, when the angels of ignorance

Fall down from your eyes

Rose clouds of holocaust

Rose clouds of lies...

Rose clouds of twilight truth

Rose clouds of night

Rose clouds of harvested

(love, all alight)

And, when the ashes of life

Fall down from the skies

Rose clouds of holocaust

Rose clouds of lies...

And, festivals end

As festivals must

From the hooded crows of Rome

To the falcons of Zagreb

Oh, mother victim of Jesus

Lie down in Sydney's dust

For, festivals end

As festivals must
