about

2007 EP Peace Love and Under Surveillance

lyrics

The influence of modern kings
whose powers soar on silver wings
has spread across our sacred world
and let the flags of fear unfurl

These modern kings who talk the truth
with fingers crossed they call the youth
then pluck upon the chords of love
while feeding on the holy dove

40 days and 40 nights
In desert storms we’ll reach the heights
and then with our descent to Earth
we’ll see the little lamb give birth

Look there’s George the holy man
with Little Johnny hand in hand
The burning Bush has set ablaze
a raging storm it’s the current craze

Don’t talk the talk don’t lend an ear
The pyres are high that flame on fear
So rise up now all gentle kin
Reveal the Temple Knight within

40 days and 40 nights
