If the throne of a city is struck
By the butcher and the baker
And the candlestick maker
If the beggars are horseless
Numberless still
Pointing as high as the moons
If the dumb and the deaf
Are seen in the city
The locusts are spinning
In the curtains and in the dust
And the tip of your tail is behind your eyes
And under your smiles
The rivers are gathered
Covered with clouds
If the floorplan and structure
And her statues are signless
And the swallows cease singing in front of the flock
If it rains razors, and murders, and slaughters
If the Saint Fox is crowded
And crowned by a blow
If the codes in the stars
Are the codes in your arms
And the number you wear is formed like a wheel
The kite and the eagle
And the crop and the drop
And the notes in the depths
And in the dance of your breath
Are seen in a city set upon a hill
Sulphur and ebony, tamarisk and clay
And the city is sliding, moving like dogs'teeth
And the Moon had moved back-crack
Beyond the eyes of the gods
Forest and trust and glut
And carnival; a glove
On a snake in the cracked crown
At the wake the Sun is dust
And the bronze and the gold
And the summer Sun
Turns sketches of scribbles
It's a river of words carrying deserts and shutters
And a bowl full of spells
Move your eyes from the gaze
The moon is dead now, Joke Moon
The rabbit and hare in the Martyr Face
By trap and snare and man
"Now kill them all", says Peter Pan

歌詞解析
一句話主旨
歌曲以隱喻手法描繪城市崩壞與希望幻滅的荒誕圖景。
主題
社會秩序的瓦解、現實與幻象的交織、對權力與信仰的質疑。
情緒
壓抑、荒誕、絕望，帶有諷刺與疏離感。
意象與手法
運用宗教與神話符號（如聖狐、彼得潘）、自然元素（河流、雲、塵埃）建構虛實交錯的意象，透過矛盾修辭（如「硫磺與黑檀」）強化混亂感。
重點句解讀
1. 「The moon is dead now, Joke Moon」：
直接宣告希望破滅，月球作為傳統象徵希望的意象被否定，暗示現實的殘酷。
2. 「Now kill them all」, says Peter Pan：
引用童話人物彼得潘的台詞，諷刺純真被暴力取代，批判現實的殘酷。
3. 「It's a river of words carrying deserts and shutters」：
用河流比喻文字，卻承載荒蕪與封閉，隱喻資訊時代的空洞與隔閡。
適合情境
適合在思考社會現狀、面對混亂時聆聽，或用於文學創作靈感。
