Spiraling Up

See it spinning? Hear it flying?
Here we’re living. There we’re dying
Ain’t no warning, got no sound
Just a hole burned in the ground

And if you hear the moment pass
You were never in its grasp
Lest it gives you one last nod
On a comet towards your god

And then we’ll save you
After the wars
We’re taking what was yours
Change your uniform and we’ll enlist you
Just toe the line
Prophecies will shatter
By design

Feel it rising in your blood
Is it lightning? Is it love?
Mount the thunder, feel the thrust
Take the burning, ride the rush

You see him hurling towards the clouds
Now behind him it’s so loud
Life and death wrapped in his shroud
Azrael screams out

Rocket! Rocket! Sing it loud!
Rocket! Rocket! Make us proud!
Rocket! Rocket! Take thy crown
Rocket! Rocket! Coming down…
Coming down
Coming down

I see my god up in the sky
Give me mercy, my oh my
See the hope in people’s eyes
No more bombs, when rockets fly

Give me bread, circus, and pie
Let me drink now from the vine
May you join your hand with mine
Let us sing

Rocket! Rocket! Sing it loud!
Rocket! Rocket! Make us proud!
Rocket! Rocket! Take thy crown
Rocket! Rocket! Coming down…
Coming down
Coming down
