Of Nations Iii a Turning Nation

A turning nation
Turn around we all fall

The tall are bound but small
Here comes the crown, swords drawn

A nation turns and the world 
burns spin with is bloody sins

In the quiet din of angry 
light buzzing incandescence 
A night endless insight

Vast and close as the razor to the heart
Closer to the darkest Holocaust

Turn around, madness is in play
Thy fools kingdom display…

Remaining bits of bone of the insane 
All for the glory, gold from afar
Far away!

The power and fame, money 
and hard credit cards 
Jewels, ivory neon bars.

A fifteen-second of flame dancing in shame
Rain the greed of a nation in turn insane

Spin the lights flare white
Blaring out the fractured chrome 

Fades flakes and drifts away
All fall, down ash to ash of bone
all blown away

Tumbles down the crown
A nation in turn a nation a burn

Fearing the nation all lost 
Faded in glory…

The rage!
