What You Call God
What you call God,
I call shelter in a thunderstorm
What you call Heaven,
I call green fields from hard stone
What you call Jesus
I call forgiveness from a lost friend
And what you call Hell,
I call the earth itself, wasted in hatred
Brainwash Me Please
Here is my brain, please brainwash me
Yes, I'll be your willing victim
You have my permission, re-wire me
Make me ignore & forget
I'll believe in lies or half-truths
To save me from this hell
And if you're promising me you know the Answers
Here is my brain, do with it as you please
Knowing God
Knowing God through Jesus
Or knowing God through an earthly stone
Knowing God through the books of history
Or knowing God through a day on his Earth
Piecing God together, bit by bit,
leaving work for future generations
Or one day just meeting God in whole, face to face
Basking in beauty, terror and bewilderment
Energy Source
I don't doubt that your God is real
When I see the fruits of your belief
A legitimate, valid energy source
Nothing can come from nothing
Tap into that great energy source
That nobody can deny
Convert "God" energy into good works
Bringing Heaven down to Earth
A God I Would Worship
Whether your God be real
Or just a false idol
It is a God I would worship
A lie I would believe in
Give up my pride & bow before it
If comes a time we all must
And if we all must choose a higher power
We might at least choose the lie we believe best
Like Choosing Between Life and Death
You say life without a car ain't living
Nor without TV, House or Wife
The present age is always the golden age
Humanity moves forward, never backward
How lowly are all the animal races
Living lives as good as deaths
To choose between here now and then there
Is to choose between life and death
Heaven
Does Heaven look at all like the cities we build?
Or simple like primal Earth?
Each century a clearer vision of how God meant it?
Or just a another vision, nothing more?
The Lady Messiah
You lay bare your body and soul
Give salvation from the hell of loneliness and heartache
Though you're just a photograph, you touch me so intimately
Such fulfillment,I get closer to heaven
I reap what you sow
My debt to you is more than you know
Such an oasis in the dull desert of life
A sign of life in a virtual graveyard
"Knowing Your Future"
I feel I can see your future
And it makes me grieve for you
Tortured by paranoid fears
I save you from demons you can't see
My love for you puts phantoms in my head
I hurt you in trying to help you
Maybe I should just let go
Let the earth, sun and moon be your guide
"Loving My Own Worst Enemy"
I'm my own worst enemy
I'm at war with myself
Mind against Body
Love against Lust
Only when I learn to love and accept
My broken body and broken heart
Will I start to heal and move forward
Bring an end to the war and live in peace
"A Thankless Job"
I provide love to the dying plants
And to the crying children
You win wars and build towering artifices
Are hailed a hero and showered with glory
"Skin against Steel"
The armour-clad knight bowed to the naked lady
To his mind she is a sacred object
"Take off your armour brave sir" she says
"So I can touch you at your heart"
So the man of war became a man of love
Exposed to his enemies' jeers
Put a Little Earth in Your Heaven
Your passionless love splutters and dies
Like an unprimed bullet from a gun
Your gun is aimed at nothing
You’re firing wild
Scattering seed in an empty vacuum
Calling Alien races from galaxies afar
You recite the magic words from sacred books
And hope that the legends are true
But the sun doesn’t shine any brighter
Nor the breeze blow any cooler
Mars, Jupiter and Venus resonate with our prayers
While Earth receives no love at all
Put a little love in your heart
And put a little lust in your love
Crave for the things you really need
And aim your gun at open hearts
We’re all just earthbound men
And though we can dream of higher plains
Mother earth is our Mother by birth
When our dreams turn to nightmares we still have Her
