"we sing the death song, kids, because we've got no future, and we wanna be just like you." Hopelessness squared and underlined, on "an earth we made into hell," where heroes die, heaven is only a vague hope, and maybe even god would like to end it all. (over and over, here, the failure of the institutionalized god to offer anything of value; only the magician's personal relationship with god yields anything at all.)
