Where the (2)______________ looms
Like a bird of doom
As it (3)____________ and cracks
Where secrets lie in the border fires
In the humming wires
Hey man, you know
You're (4)__________ coming back
Past the square, (5)________ the bridge
Past the mills, (6)________ the stacks
On a gathering storm comes
A (7)________ (8)________________ man
In a (9)__________ black coat with
A red right hand

He'll (10)________ you in his arms
Tell you (11)________ you've been a (12)________ boy

Heal your (17)__________________ soul

You're one microscopic cog
In his catastrophic plan
Designed and (27)________________ by his red right hand
