Ending Ceremony lyrics

Here come the dead 
All bleeding red 
This one's been choked 
The other shot in the head 

Here come the flies 
Children with no eyes 
They hold each other's hands and dance 
A jig of world demise 

Chorus: 
Hand in hand 
They march on down the altar 
Heart in hand 
They stand before the father 
In the Ceremony of the End 

Here come the numb 
The weakened and the dumb 
They turn a curtained eye on 
What we have become 

Here come the blind 
The sick and out of mind 
The only happy people 
In all of human kind 

Rep. Chorus 

All have gathered here 
The trumpets of Damnation blow 
The actors take their place 
It's time to get on with the show 

The sun he bows and goes 
Night descends upon the hall 
They're standing in the isles 
Waiting for the curtain call 

Take your place next to me 
Below this last of all the skies 
We'll hold each other close 
And laugh like hell as the world dies 

Later come the wise 
Who'd brought on their demise 
By severing the bars of 
the birdcage of their lies 

And then come you and I 
Who gave meaning to the lie 
By seeking refuge from the storm 
In a feeling doomed to die 

Rep. Chorus
