How the Great Satanic Glory Faded
guitar chords lyrics
"One night as I lay in my bed" sings
The Chinese chatter is chipping away
The whitelit clouds assemble
A small angel of God displays this:
Shiningblack beetlewings polished is he

Crackedsun boneset anklet of jadegreen

Goldplated illusion and fool's gold in heaven
Goodbye
