Ariel
A one-eyed monster
from the great deser'
athirst and famished
bares its fangs crimsoned
at we that now dwell
in this tried Ariel...
Woe unto the Ariel
where David did dwell
for bloodletting this much
bombs the body torch'
woe, woe unto thee
for thy peace is cease'...
Who will save thy sons from the flood?
save your men from the guilt of blood?
save your fruits from nigh destruction?
save your land from insurrections?
For their bloods cry unto me Ariel!
saying grievous things like Abel's...
Give, give, give unto them o lord
give, give unto them a black world...
So men rise in the dawn to poor vision
death in the day, and big, big confusion...
Hear ye the rod, who hath appointed it ...
Thy word o lord is a lamp to my feet.
