REFUGEES AND PILGRIMS
03:32

-Refugees and Pilgrims-
Along the way
The thoughts are frozen
We feel the questions
The end of days?
The river overflows
Knowledge opens for all
The smell of Myrrh
An Angel holds your soul
R/ Shine—slow this world
Shine—behold the Word
Look to the East
Empires crashing
Distorted impressions
Propaganda feast
Refugees and pilgrims
Sorrow forsaken
They vote for madness
Will the war games begin?
R/ Shine—slow this world
Shine—behold the Word

GAME OF BLAME
03:49
|

|
-Game of Blame-
Are you for real?
A tear they’ll steal.
A heart of glass
What can they feel?
R/ Game of blame: hide the pain
Game of Blame
Fighting for our lives
Borrow from some sorrow
Light a purple candle
Weeping hearts so hollow
Freedom?
R/ Game of blame: hide the pain
Game of Blame

PSALM FOR THE LOST
03:47
|
|||
|
-Psalm For The Lost-
They steal the night
Poetry for angels
Shattered minds
Memories on ice
The mirror weeps
Or was it deception?
Seeking absolution
Bloodless sacrifice
R/ Amen...so shall it be
Old men...they search for thee
Scared of the light
An angry crowd
Never lose the gift
Never curse the pain
Bitter sentiments
Philosophy of fools
Psalm for the lost
Tears for the hopeless
R/ Amen...so shall it be
Old men...they search for thee

LAST CALL
04:06

-Last Call-
Break out into mourning
as the night destroys their fashion.
Call the ‘Warhol’ soldiers
march them to the falling stars.
Paper people, plastic faces
can you see their weathered souls?
They’ll vote in...a new ‘Fuhrer’
and then blame it all on God.
LAST CALL—Heed the Drones!
LAST CALL—Who will count the bones?
Candy minds and big screen puppets
police leave their foxholes.
Someone’s calling for their Mother
Kingdom ‘fools’ are on their knees.
The troops of mercy coming home
and no one even calls their names.
No one knows where Fred lived
but we heard that he once died.
LAST CALL—Heed the Drones!
LAST CALL—Who will count the bones?

PURPLE FLAG
04:49
|

|
-Purple Flag-
Landmines –rats and clowns
Shadows – shine your light
Pictures—same old face
Open—hearts and souls
Leave it—leaving town
Chasing—call the dogs
Chorus: Raise a purple flag
Build another wall
Raise a purple flag
Hear the cry of hungry wolves?
Raise a purple flag
Hear the call?
Heroes?—no one cares
Movies—rated “Me”
Pictures—some young face
Urgent—get in line
Mercy—claim the night
Running—from the dogs

BLUE CHOCOLATE
05:02
|
|||
|
-Blue Chocolate-
Leave the “Party” and vote for eyes
Fancy costumes and fragile minds
“Dr. Love” in paradise
Feast for lizards and serpentines
Blue Chocolate
Andy Warhol paints a scene
“Jazz-bat” groupies sing vampire songs
Mr. Webb has found a machine
Down in the park with “Gothic” dreams
Blue Chocolate
Space cadets and Stratford clones
Lady “Cha Cha” and ghetto mimes
Little Flower, you’re the one
Send from heaven a tiny rose
Blue Chocolate

THE GHOST WILL FADE
03:53
|
|||
|
-Revolution-
A vision from the East
Gypsy caravan, “tomorrow’s vague”
The moon behind a Temple dome
R/ Revolution,
the Ghost will fade
Revolution,
the Ghost will fade
Can you see, ‘Lady Mourning’
Hides her face behind Lebanon
The wolves run with the shepherd
Purple army closing in
New novena for the forgotten ones.
R/
Plastic souls and faded hearts
Another century, we’ll see the future
Never ask what pain will teach,
Rather teach, what pain will ask.
R/

DANS LA NUIT

|
Dans La Nuit
Ouvre-nous à ton amour
Donne nous un peu d'espoir
Des larmes on verse à tous les jours
Même dans cette nuit nous voulons croire
Un autre côté de la mort
Requiem des opprimées
L'amour de Dieu sûrement plus fort
La nuit apporte une vérité

GHOST TOWN POLITICS
03:40

|
GHOST TOWN POLITICS
Take away the fantasy law
Break away from the clown charades
Real on reel, a soldier cries
Who is left when the party dies
Justice is fickle when no one cares
Speak the truth if you dare
Ghost town politics and plastic smiles
Godless world—what have you heard?
Light a candle and call on Gabriel
The night patrol has lost all contact
Will they vote for a new day?
Raphael will lead the way
Pray for the fallen, weep for the crowd
Take the banner, look for the shroud
Ghost town politics and plastic smiles

THE ECONOMY OF DECEPTION

|
THE ECONOMY OF DECEPTION
Games-war for the tabloids
Shame-it’s all just a gamble
Sanity-we’ll sell it to you...
Please...just sign right here.
Who are you looking for?
Vote-the robots are calling
Love-tell me a story.
Hate-the new narcotic?
Show-and you all tuned in.
You all tuned in .
Who are you looking for?
