Can’t you see the river flowing
Flowing through a sea of ruin
Washing black upon a jagged shore
See the sky alive with fury
Mother nature’s sacked the jury’s law

And the rooster crows but nobody knows why
And there’s dragons in the sky
And the red rain falls and envelops all
And it ends as it as it began

Can’t you hear the children crying
As they watch their world is dying
Burned and hacked and gasping to the end
Release the sap and spray the air
Kill anything you could declare a friend

As cracks appear in the veneer
You see what’s going on in here
And realize too late the time has come
My mind’s a blank, our hearts are too
We remark there’s naught left to be done

And the rooster crows but nobody knows why
And there’s dragons in the sky
And the red rain falls and envelops all
And it ends as it as it began

Don’t be sad your life is through
Be thankful to avoid the queue
This was not the lullaby you planned
Leave behind the empty earth
Of an apocalyptic barren land

Through the gates and look below
To see them reap but never sow
The wheel of fortune still and a bell rings
Consider all you did today and
Think what every little motion brings

And the rooster crows but nobody knows why
And there’s dragons in the sky
And the red rain falls and envelops all
And it ends as it as it began
