Miserabile Visu (Ex Malo Bonum)
by Spoon
A red priest broke into our classroom,
Caught us children by attention.
Listen closely to the words I speak,
Lord knows if we'll ever, ever again meet.
Caught us children by attention.
Listen closely to the words I speak,
Lord knows if we'll ever, ever again meet.
Spoke such words never spoken before,
On the way he declared the war.
Miracles like you've never seen
From a man who was raised up in the sea.
On the way he declared the war.
Miracles like you've never seen
From a man who was raised up in the sea.
A man is coming in 13:1
To charm the daughters and the sons.
Scared for our lives, I turned to your hand,
Hold this tight while we run, if we still can.
To charm the daughters and the sons.
Scared for our lives, I turned to your hand,
Hold this tight while we run, if we still can.
What disasters may come,
Whatever it may be,
At the end of the age,
It will end you and me.
What tragedy may bring,
Whatever may fall,
At the end of the world,
You'll still belong.
Whatever it may be,
At the end of the age,
It will end you and me.
What tragedy may bring,
Whatever may fall,
At the end of the world,
You'll still belong.
Before the red priest took his last breath
He told me, Child, now don't forget.
The sun will turn dark very soon,
Your days are numbered when there's blood on the moon.
He told me, Child, now don't forget.
The sun will turn dark very soon,
Your days are numbered when there's blood on the moon.
The earth will shake and the sky will fall,
The eyes will open of those enthralled.
Don't take the sign, but you'll be killed
By the man from seven hills.
The eyes will open of those enthralled.
Don't take the sign, but you'll be killed

Look, children, to the eastern sky,
When you hear the voice, say your last goodbyes.
Look there to the eastern skies,
When the ghosts take hold of the men who've died.
Look, children, to the eastern sky,
When your fathers weep and your mothers cry.
