Nuclear Shadow - All the Queens are Dead

Impossible Things

The watchmen bombed the watchtower
The witches jumped in the fire
The wanderers swallowed their maps
The women cut out their sire

The mourners spoke truth at funerals
The machines spit out the gas
The moon flung itself from orbit
The men ceded power at last

And I poured out the poison
And woke in the morning

The pastors burned their bibles
The priests helped those who wept
The parents loved their children
The people calmed and slept

And I put back the knife
And thought it might be all right

And I followed along
And I wrote this song
And I called my bluff
And it was enough
