Lyrics

AMERIKAN MANTRA I

IN THE WEST THE WHORE OF BABYLON IS NURSING ALL OF HER CHILDREN...
WITH A BOTTLE FULL OF IGNORANCE AND SPIRITUAL PERVERSION...
MAN, SHE?S MIND KONTROLLING USELESS EATERS SO THAT THEY CANNOT SEE...
ALL OF THE WAYS IN WHICH THEY?RE PARALYZED BY FEAR AND MISERY...
AND HOW...
KNOCKED DOWN...
THEY'VE ALL BECOME IN THESE LATE DAYS FROM CALLOUS TYRANNY...
SO PROUD...
ABOUT...
ALL OF THE FREEDOM AND THE LIBERTY THAT DISAPPEARED AWAY...
IT DOESN'T REALLY MATTER NOW...
THE FREEDOM WASN'T REAL...
AND THE LIBERTY THAT YOU CRY ABOUT WAS NOTHING BUT A BILL...
KNOCKED DOWN...
KNOCKED DOWN...
THEY BLEW 110 STORIES STRAIGHT DOWN TO THE GROUND
OH WOW?
OH WOW?
DID YOU SEE THAT MAN...
I CAN'T BELIEVE THERE ARE PEOPLE JUMPING DOWN...

FREEDOM WENT AWAY?
THEY SAY SHE?LL BE BACK SOME OTHER DAY?

NOW WE EXPECT TO REMEMBER THAT OUR INDIAN SUMMERS...
COME JUST SHY OF DECEMBER AND THE CHRIST'S BIRTHING UNDER...
TO A KINGDOM SOUTH OF YESOD
AND LOOKING TOWARD CHESED...
HE CAME TO TELL US ALL ABOUT ANOTHER WAY...
OUTTA THIS LIFE THAT'S LIKE A PRISON...
AND HOW THERE ALWAYS IS A REASON...
FOR THE SHEPARD OF THE SEASON...
TO BE ON HIS WAY...
BACK DOWN...
KNOCKED DOWN...
YOU KNOW? THEY NAILED HIM TO A TREE JUST FOR POINTING THE WAY OUT?OF TOWN...
AND NOW?
I HEAR THAT EDEN'S BEEN BOUGHT UP BY SNAKES AND AGENTS OF THE CROWN...

I GIVE UP MAN... THE GAME IS RIGGED... THE RULES HAVE ALL BEEN FIXED...
AND IN A LUCID DREAM LAST NIGHT AN ANGEL TOLD ME THIS....

JUST TAKE KETER SOUTH TO CHAKMAH...
THROUGH BINAH, CHESED, 'N GEVURAH...
AND MAKE SURE YOU STOP FOR TIFERET, YOU KNOW SHE'S SUCH A BEAUTY...
THEN IT'S NEZZACH STRAIGHT TO HOD ON DOWN TO YESOD THEN TO MALKHUT... WHERE WE ALL MUST LEARN OUR LESSONS IN THE KINGDOM THAT EVOLVES US...

BREATHE ALEPH, BEIT, GIMEL, DALET, HEI, VOV, ZAYIN... CHET, TET, YOD, KOF, LAMED, MEM, NUN, SAMECH... AYIN, PEI, TZADI, QOF, REISH... SHIN, TOV... I'M THINKIN' OF... TAKIN' A DEEP BREATH AND STARTING ALL OVER AGAIN...
