MESSIAH
lyrics: J. Morse © 1983
Sun parches dry all that ever lived
Here in this land
Amazing that any survive
To be led by his hand
Violent tantrums of murderous dust
Blowing in his face
Endless caresses of anger
Display our disgrace
Out of the sands comes the soul
Who claims the starring role
In this hopeless power play
See far beyond the sands
He has the masses in his hands
And nothing will ever cause his path to sway
Messiah. . . of a thousand men
Look and see just where he's been
Realize the views he's stated
Can control the souls he's captivated. . .
Storm cross the desert, lay siege
To the valley of green
He's the Messiah, leading all whom
His dark eyes has seen
The planet now falls into darkness
As war rages on
People are crying in terror
What have they done?
Out of the sands comes the soul
Who claims the starring role
In this hopeless power play
See far beyond the sands
He has the masses in his hands
And nothing will ever cause his path to sway
Messiah. . . of a million men
Orders from a poisoned pen
Look and see exactly where he's been
Realize the views he's stated
Can control the souls he's captivated
For awhile, at least, until he marches on. . . again.
