Child Of The Sky - The Deviants

She walks in the teeth of the city where its neon ways are warm

Through all the laughing angels, and still she comes to harm

But watch still and waiting you’ll never see her cry

For the orphan of the earth is the child of the sky

All praises lead to silence

As the beast mark stands revealed

And the bearded ancient prophet

Is dragged off by his heels

And they all crowd the platform and hope to see her die

But the orphan of the earth is the child of the sky

She laughs as they play the guilt game and pile up the dead

And the flashing sign spells Zyklon as it burns above each head

But the words are all spelled backwards and there is no use to try

For the orphan of the earth is the child of the sky

There never was no rainbow ask the preacher in disguise

As he lays aside his shotgun and covers up his eyes

And the hunchback’s proposition explains the reason why

The orphan of the earth is the child of the sky

In the end, the antique picture cannot force a truth to tell

And her days, each gray and mindless, form a private hell

But don’t ask any questions and you won’t hear a lie

Where the orphan of the earth is the child of the sky
