The Age of Starlight Ends Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Shoulder to shoulder with the spirit which denies
Mephistopheles, be thou my god
Even if you only serve


[Pre-Chorus]
Un-fucking-surprising, in a war to end all hope
Depose the guards
Tear down these walls which shelter us from the storm

[Chorus]
A thousand cocks begin to crow
And yet, we still deny

A thousand lights begin to glow in the night
And yet, we blind our eyes
The age of starlight ends

[Verse 2]
In lockstep with the gourmands
Who'll lick your fat from their chins
If they're Mr. Creosote, we're not even a wafer-thin mint

[Pre-Chorus]
It's just lipstick, fuckwit
Ashes will be all that we taste
Pucker up for your fucking pig
A great victory in Pyrrhus' name
[Chorus]
A thousand cocks begin to crow
And yet, we still deny
A thousand lights begin to glow in the night
And yet, we blind our eyes
The age of starlight ends

[Pre-Chorus]
Un-fucking-surprising, in a war to end all hope
Depose the guards
Tear down these walls which shelter us from the storm

[Chorus]
A thousand cocks begin to crow
And yet, we still deny
A thousand lights begin to glow in the night
And yet, we blind our eyes
The age of starlight ends

About

This song bio is unreviewed
Genius Annotation

Tufton Street. Thiel. Cadwalladr. Prorogation. Supine press. Attacks on judicial independence. Children in 21st Century concentration camps. Palantir. Contempt of parliament. Total corruption.

The list is endless. If this stuff seems too UK-/US-focused, we all know there are equivalents everywhere. All these things are just an Internet search away, yet ‘the folk’ are so naive that they still think they’re in charge. How quaint.
