King of Kings

from Torque by Ennet House

lyrics

she stands back as the earth unfurls
and can't find a single thing that she loves about this world
but she loves humming songs and holding her lovers close
and her right to love whatever that she loves the most
The love above is one with you and one with me
Let's paint ecclesial portraits and pretend we're free
The king of kings is within every man on earth
that tries to create meaning and prove their worth
for the lord god omni
try to find a fire
oh
light your own pyre
oh
lose your mind
loosen your mind
lose your mind
loosen your mind
she shouldn't be upset that she's an ordinary girl
after all we're living in an ordinary world
so gather all the vestiges of what you thought your life could be
hold my hand and close your eyes and come with me
What's going down on old detroit is what we need
weapons of mass creation & ingenuity
The kings of kings is within every man in time
that strives to catch and externalize the art of life
for the lord god omni
try to find a reason
oh
neural adhsesion
oh
pass the time
by losing your mind
pass the time
by losing your mind

Caine't say we're Abel
to sin as freely as Babeling architects
Caine't exactly explain to us
the split personalities over millenia
Why aren't we angel cakes?
Why do we defecate over ourselves?
Tell me what can you say to that,
you silent transparent Colossus of Rhodes?

A book for all and a book for none
a crook of all and a crook of none
a king of a king or a queen of a queen
is one whose holy mind is clean
It's raining dogma and catechism
in the world of a king there's no more rain
a king of a king or a queen of a queen
is one whose holy mind is clean
