barbarism and religion

    no one remains beside the broken door
    the palace gutted and the kingdom smashed
    we enter now the age of spiv and whore

    you wonder who could have given much more
    when at the gate the last small army clashed
    no one remains beside the broken door

    the price of paradise is paid in gore
    and through the river many feet have splashed
    we enter now the age of spiv and whore

    not one is left the magic to adore
    and every value long ago was trashed
    no one remains beside the broken door

    a shadow of the past adorns the floor
    where once the greatest would have been abashed
    we enter now the age of spiv and whore

    there is none left to gaze upon the shore
    where the last hope has only now been dashed
    no one remains beside the broken door
    we enter now the age of spiv and whore
