She Said Destroy — Death In June

Into that darkness Into that darkness Like jackals howling Like flowers unfolding

Into that darkness Into that darkness The banners in tatters The virgin is blessed Into that darkness Into that darkness As if seeking there Hope's bloody prey The dead dog sinking turning and turning

Into that darkness Into that darkness The bodies collapsed Swollen with gas

Into that darkness Into that darkness In the hovels and gutters Her face to the storm

Into that darkness Into that darkness Still broken, still bleeding The crack of the neck The gut shriek of thunder The blood call of lightning

She said destroy in black New York...

Into that darkness Into that darkness Like jackals howling Like flowers unfolding

Into that darkness Into that darkness The virgin has blessed The call of the beast

Into that darkness Into that darkness As if seeking there Hope's bloody prey The dead dog sinking turning and turning

She said destroy in black New York...
