1. Waterbed
Like a swift riverbed stream
Our love runs raining sheets
In the bed where we sleep
In the bed where we slide away far swept
Slide away ship wrecked
Slide away unkept
Slide away on our
Waterbed
2. Tears Roll Down
Tears roll down my face
To water's lower place
My heart fills to swell
Drowning water well
Just as tears roll down
To water's drowning well
Sun evaporates rain
Up I rise, vapor whirls
To the sky spirit soars high
Just as tears roll down
To water's drowning well
3. Zarathustra, Come Down
Zarathustra, come down
The mountaintop is lonely, come down
Become man once again
Zarathustra, come down
Humanity is in need, come down
Fill us with willingness
Beyond the right of justice
Beyond the deed of pity
Beyond the light of reason
Zarathustra come down
Your cup is overflowing, come down
Spill again overman
Zarathustra, come down
We walk across a chasm, come down
Deeper than we comprehend
4. Sentenced
God abandoned his high heaven
To be like you and me
God in a shroud rose through the clouds
Nails in hands and feet
It was my grip clenched in a fist
Pounding viciously
It was my grip clenched in a fist
Paying evenly
Crucify him!
In the garden, what would I do?
God knew what I'd do
In the garden he sentenced me
To death he sent me
Crucify him!
5. One Black Rose
One black rose to beware
Grows inside with despair
Blooming dark in the shadow
Whispering things immoral
One black rose poisoning
Takes up root inside me
Naked like immodesty
Shamelessly whispering
One black rose then destroys
All the hope I enjoy
When its form becomes my face
And mocking lips shockingly say,
"You never may"
6. Such A God?
God is coming with a sword
God is coming to destroy
So I cry out spare the rod!
Why be saved by such a god?
In the west a nuclear hell
Atom bomb 2012
An unleashed arabian beast
Charging from the middle-east
Whirls of wind, sky turns green
What god sends my eyes see
Comet strikes polar ice
Floods into streets
Eagle calls, prison walls
Freedom falls chained
Pandemic, pestilence
War, famine
Dying sick
When the beast teams up to war
With the bear whose bombs are sold
Babylonian praying lips
Praise god for apocalypse
7. The Abyss
We follow madmen into the abyss
Rather than blindly without a vision
For whom to better lead that destined journey?
For whom to better lead our destiny?
The abyss is madness to the sane!
The abyss to madmen is bliss,
An abyss
Madness
Madmen
Bliss
8. Senseless Thought
To agree with senselessness is to affirm
The truth of what must always be
A senseless world defined by the senses
Luxuriously lavished extreme
Where slight perception like a deep torrential stream
Floods pools of an enchanted mind
Such sensation wrought by the muses
Touch, taste, sight, scent and sound
Invoke dreams like stars yield constellations
When imagination with reason lines
How then, we affirm when design is religiously taught
But the nonsensical is the meaning
Of senseless thought
9. Open Hand
An open hand is an empty hand
Ready for so much more
Into the hands of emptiness
Riches may pour
Hands in a fist grip emptiness
Open up your hands
And let it go
10. Come On
Come on, let's go down that road
To the quarried cliffs
Carved long ago
Come on, let's go down that lone road
Come on, let's ride by and by
To the quarried cliffs
Where we swim and dive
Come on, let's ride away by by
Where we walk side by side
Walk the path they left behind
Come on, let's dive in just like
Acrobatic fools, crystal water pools
Come on, let's dive away by by
Come on
