lyrics

The Red Sea

"Some who have died now live.
Others who almost live must vanish......."

As slowly we follow the Silent One out of
The prisons and tombs of our souls,
Into the cities of Memphis and Thebes;
Past floodlit cathedrals and superstore-bargain-shop holes.

On every shoulder consumers wear mortgages;
Pilloried in stocks and in shares,
They stare out from faces that stare into newspapers;
Security sucks at their veins, as neon dreams vomit their wares...

Onward to Mystery
Onward to Camelot
Onward just to survive.

And the chariots of the Pharaohs
Thunder the freeway
As the Hawk-head gods ravage the skies...

The white-faces stream from their cracks in economy;
The concrete and chrome part aside.
Uncertain we walk between oceans of people,
Wondering if all of it will suddenly crash and drown all in the flood.
Will the damn break soon - will the waves break soon
Before we've crossed - will we drown with them too?.......
