Smokestack Ammunition Songtext
von Jerusalem

In the distance at that border
Where tomorrow meets yesterday
Inclement weather, rolling thunder
Devastating the hard-won way
Tears fall like rain
In the dampness of life′s passion
All the drowning cannot be saved
Slowly sliding into greyness
Helter skelter towards the grave
Tears fall like rain
Then they fall again
Hangman by the gallows
Spectres in the shadows
Carbon footprints running
Boneyard bodies humming
Deathbed guilt, contrition
Smokestack ammunition
Doors close, time ends
Blackness descends


In the garden eating apples
Creeping viper wasn't so green
Becoming fossils in rock faces
Encapsulating exquisite screams
Tears fall like rain
In the darkness of this prison
Inane questions sweep all away
Undercurrents, crushing pressure
Decimating such harmless prey
Tears fall like rain
Then they fall again
Hangman by the gallows
Spectres in the shadows
Carbon footprints running
Boneyard bodies humming
Deathbed guilt, contrition
Smokestack ammunition
Doors close, time ends
Blackness descends
