Twin angels on the blue horizon
Taken down by steel demons on the fly
Leaving an ephemeral hole in the sky

What now of this Modern Day Promised Land?

Dante's flames engulf countless bodies
Their ashes fall to the ground in a snow of sorrow
That's tainted red with innocents blood

What now of this Modern Day Promised Land?

Mass exodus - East, West, North and South
Flocks flee their once promised Eden
Exiting before being banished

What now of this Modern Day Promised Land?

Destruction has sewn remnants of dreams into a quilt of regret
That will keep warm the survivors of tomorrow
Who remain behind to put the pieces of this puzzle back together

What now of this Modern Day Promised Land?
