The Second Falling of Zion King

The second coming of the Messiah in a bomb.

Detonate with joy, Daughter Zion!

Howl into the abyss, Jerusalem!

See, your King comes to you,

Not humble, but cornered,

Straddling the arc of a fatal payload;

Throned upon the fuselage, the cold steel of the bomb.

I shall reap the Palestinian children from the olive groves,

And dissolve the Republics in their desert dust,

till the very concept of Battle kneels before me.”

He shall decree a Great Burning unto the region.

His tyranny shall bridge the rising tides,

From the River to the scorched ends of the Earth.

As for you, because you offered a liturgy of blood,

I have unchained the demons from the dry tankers.

Return to your craters, you prisoners of the Void;

Even now I declare: I shall restore to you double the ruin.
