Red Right Hand

Steve-thanks for the push

What if the breath that kindl’d those grim fires

Awak’d should blow them into sevenfold rage

And plunge us in the flames? or from above

Should intermitted vengeance arm again

His red right hand to plague us?

– John Milton, Paradise Lost

You’re one microscopic cog

In his catastrophic plan

Designed and directed by

His red right hand

– Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, “Red Right Hand”
