74 : 6/23/98 : Wrath

Dies irae, dies illa
solvet saeclum en favilla
days of wrath the things’ll kill ya
you won’t look so smart then will ya

Pax vobiscum, peace among us
years ago the hard truths stung us
looked at what our work had won us
wondered why the angels shun us

Days of wrath and feckless wonder
all that’s over, all that’s under
in the storm the hail the thunder
all our hoarded dark souls’ plunder
