Patience

Patience was the shadow of the woman
standing in the corner quietly
wringing her hands
controlling the storm

He said all would be shared
with some patience,
but He wouldn't deliver

Holding His place,
and promising all,
promising all,
with some patience...

Dark was the passage of Patience
she tried to fulfill her name
forgiving the fraudulent Master...

Tired of growing thin,
Patience discovered her true form
His eyes, His eyes saw a future of
harmony and displaced authority

Burn them all He said

But this time, She will make it through

Everything

Be a good girl and don't question anything
it's all there if you'll get down
on your knees
Praying for the Big Man
to Come again,
and fill you up with
pearly righteousness

The missionaries they came searching for me
to give me what they think is life's purpose
They stood there and said God is a person,
but I have got to disagree...

God is in the Trees,
and in the Leaves,
and in the Birds and in the Grass and in the Sun,

It's Everything

Now you see, women...
we can never hear The Word
cos we can give blood on Sundays...

Ha, I've got some news...
I've seen the place where stars fall from below your feet
and lifetimes pass with just one breath..
It was in Me and I was Everything
and nothing could harm Me...

There is nothing to fear
when darkness comes
No, there is nothing to fear
when darkness comes
Just let It in
and It will take you Under...

There's no Brotherhood that will preside over Me
Fabricating truth to dominate...
To dominate...
Eat this bread and drink this water
It will Save your Soul

and Most Important
Do not Fuck before you're Married in the Temple

Homecoming

Our love is this land, this earth, this soil
Our love are these winds and these seas

Dispossessed by a fingerprint
on foreign tongue
A boat ride to exile
and days of detachment

Our love will have its day

Responsibility remains vacant
a position lost in paper
where the secrets are stored

Promised a homecoming
we sat by the wharf
and watched the planes
leave Our love,
we watched the planes
leave Our love
to burn the innocent children
to burn them
to burn

Childless Mother

Sometimes, I feel like a childless mother
sometimes, life seems so superficial
I just want to die
sometimes, I feel like
stepping out of the fifteenth floor window
all the way down...
all the way down...
all the way down to the warmth,
the warmth of the concrete pavement

But, then, the light it flows...

It flows like water
It flies high like the birds
It's all around you

Just open your eyes and See
Just open your heart and See...

It's all around you, it's all around you
It's all right here... right here...
It's all around you...

Take It

Any colour
any flavour
any size you want
it's right here
right now
just take it

You will want all they'll say you need
and you will take everything for your greed
say what is gained when the harvest is stored for one?
and we're all left out in the cold

Any fashion
any idol
any ritual you want
it's right here
right now
just take it

Any weapon
any army
any country you want
it's right here
just take it
right now
just take it

Take it, take it...
take it, take it...
take it...
you Greedy motherfuckers
just take it

Take it... take it... take it... take it...
